It's gone no where. As has production?
It must be both. Must be. If we only build production centers, and do not reign in consumption, or re-engineer the systems...nothing will be solved.
HVAC has two parts. Air movement/rotating fans and Compression/cooling or resitance/heating. All run on electricity. Compression/resistance will always need electricity, but air movement is very efficiently off loaded to solar or wind power.
It's a whole new breed of thinking needed. It's not more power...it's some more power, some smarter use of the power and some re-allocation of the energy source for efficiently off-loaded requirements.
Just my two cents...
