So the orange line is utilization. Up here we had like 90 utilization.

Low utilization, prices will decrease.

So up here this is 90 utilization and then down here this is 70 utilization.

Capacity utilization is driven by demand.

This orange line represents capacity utilization.

He's only running at 25 utilization.

And capacity utilization had really preceded that.

But the interesting thing, just falling into the cupcake economics and this whole notion of capacity utilization, is that inflationary periods are always preceded, at least all the data I have, by increases in capacity utilization.

Data, data, data...

I'm fully utilized, right? I have 100 utilization.

Bing! That's data. Data, data, data.

My answer is, just watch the capacity utilization numbers.

Capacity utilization drives inflation. We can all buy that.

Let's say it has a slight impact on utilization.

Low utilization, you have kind of the opposite situation.

So high utilization of capacity, it leads to prices increasing.

So we're all tapped out, we're at 100 capacity utilization.

So those are the two side effects of high utilization.

And the traditional notion of capacity utilization, and this is what my brain does when someone mentions it, is I think of industrial capacity utilization.

So you have the situation now, where you have low utilization.

And notice, it was preceded by an uptick in capacity utilization.

On top of that, if they get close to fully utilization,

Or if they see that fully utilization is down the road,

Say sorted data is data.

little data, old data, no data. So back in 1995,

Data

Data...

Data

Data

Data

Data

They wanted to get to nearly 100 percent of the energy utilization.

That when you have low utilization, it's everyone's incentive to lower prices.

A couple of days ago, I made these videos on cupcake economics, where I talked about what happens when the cupcake factories have high utilization or low utilization.

And when people say low utilization, I imagine idle factories, and when high utilization, I imagine factories that are running at three shifts and things are moving feverishly.

And going back to where we started this video, in terms of capacity utilization and what that might do to prices, this tells us that labor utilization is

like DNA data or brain data.

Raw data now! Raw data now!

And, likewise, if you have very high utilization, it's hard to avoid inflation.

But that's a good level. You want to be at around 80 utilization.

In a service based economy, the best measure of utilization really is unemployment.

And if you go a little bit lower, it tells me capacity utilization.

But, in general, prices will go up when you have high utilization, right?

looking at wind data and solar data.
