Electricity shortages

From Forbes:

While oil gets the attention, America uses just 15% more of it today than when the first modern energy crisis hit in October 1973.

But electricity use is up 115% since then, thanks to all those plasma screens, iPhones, computers and data centers. And all economic forecasts see substantial growth in demand for electricity--think just of the coming electric cars--yet lots of problems in meeting it.
