@RemNi Yes, I just wanted to point out that as stated the question requires serious de-growth.
It is possible that you meant just electricity, not all energy: https://www.statista.com/statistics/280704/world-power-consumption/
@OlegEterevsky ahh that's probably it. I'll stick to the wording of the original question. Great tips! 😄
