Total US electricity consumption declined by a staggering 3.5% in 2009, representing the largest drop in the last decade. Electricity use by the industrial sector was down a staggering 12% from January to September of 2009. Although decreased demand is positive when considering the environmental implications, it does temporarily reduce the interest slightly in increasing green power sources. This tend is likely to last only as long as the slow economic climate, although increased emphasis on energy efficiency under the Obama administration may help mitigate the trend of electric demand increasing nearly every year.
