> I also have to wonder how an everyone-videoconference-from-home society changes electricity usage? Not saying it has a significant impact, just wondering

I work in the industry in TX and we've seen noticeable changes in both usage patterns and amounts. Most notable in the early morning hours as people are waking up and getting ready to work. A whole lot more people are waking up, checking emails, and keeping lights on at home rather then driving to the office.
