If you read the other report linked, the one done for the UK, you should get a better understanding of what the analysis means. It comes from utiltiies energy data of the country, which the utilities energy (grid) publishes. I would be surprised if ChatGPT has got that wrong. But it isn't for me to check, it is for someone from US to check. What I did was a baseline, in absence of anyone else doing it, as I explained in the indtroduction of the report.

If the data does turn out to be inaccurate, I think you will find the error is actually an understatement, the total Kardashev Stimulus worked out for the US seems low, relative to UK, as I remarked in the conclusion, but could be explained by the US being maybe less developed in terms of solar power.

I am not sure why you think COVID 19 might have made an impact, relative to the total power transferred to solar. Notice this data is gathered since around 2005. I recommend you check the other report I did for UK, which shows you the reasoning behind the estimate, and the actual data trend over time. Covid 19, if it had any effect, would have been a temporary blip, whereas what we are seeing is a steady reduction of utilities electricity use. The line showing the decline is pretty straight, headed for zero, since the advent of solar, around 2005.

Anyhow, it explains inflation being not what conventional economists believe, this time nature is driving it, by the energy coming into the economy from the sun.

I think nature has this pretty much stitched up, she is at check, with one move to mate, it seems to me.

The only way to counter the inflation this time is massive issue of stimulus, forever.
