Annual power consumption has increased 1 to 2% on average in the US in spite of efficiency improvements.
The only country that has decreased electrical consumption was Germany by roughly doubling the electrical price in a decade.
If it wasn't for illegal immigrants the US population and energy consumption would have likely leveled off 10 to 20 years ago.
