These are not "his" loads. Anyone can find data on current energy consumption and future projections. Major countries of the world spend $billions to develop this data.

I'm very sorry that I cannot seem to help you understand that it is quite delusional to believe that we could just with the stroke of a pen, tell everyone in the world that starting tomorrow, they will be phased into full austerity.

I know it is very painful for most people to accept where we are concerning the scale of fossil energy and the dependence of the world growth based economy on it.. And various defense mechanisms such as denial will kick in. But I am hopeful that we can all learn to be pragmatic.
