Natural gas usage power generation also doubled during that period.

The differences in the inefficiencies of the Nat Gas turbines, particularly with the growth of larger combined cycle units, means the fuel consumption did not double with the output.

It might seem like nit-picking, but some of today's units are around 60% efficient.

I was on GE’s prototype frame E project that was built in VA. It was an eye opener in more ways than one.
