    Yes, my point is that many green advocates / leftists mistakenly think that per capita energy usage will go down.

    My point is that once it’s decoupled from emissions there is no reason for it to, so it will skyrocket, so western governments should be focusing on building out excessive seeming levels of clean electricity generation.

      Yup, focusing on energy use misses the forest for the trees. The focus should be on net CO2 output, and as long as that’s trending downward, we’re making progress.
