But, I thought we was the evil ones using up all of the world’s resources.

Has Greta seen this ?

Electric heat uses up a ton of power.

“In its continued refusal to support & grow electric supply & generation industries, the US lags far behind European and Arab nations”.

“Sources within the Trump administration, who wish to remain anonymous, describe this as yet another, racist attack on gay, lesbian, transgendered, people of color, immigrants and other vulnerable communities “.

Fascinating!

It stands to reason. Most of the top countries, other than Luxemborg, are among the coldest in the winter or hottest countries, where cooling and heating interior spaces takes more energy than most other countries.

On the other hand, I can only think a lot of Russian buildings are not heated very well in the winter, for with their energy supplies and extremely cold winters, their electricity consumption must also be high. Even on total energy consumption per capita, which includes all fuel sources, Russia does not rank among the highest, while most of the those ranking at the top of electricity consumption per capita also rank among the top in total energy consumption, per capita. I guess Russia MUST sell so much of its energy, as it is not a big exporter in industrial or consumer goods.

However, in terms of total energy consumption, the U.S. ranks right up there among the top ten.

Greta would know what per capita vs total consumption means. And she wouldn't care.

Greta knows that the USA is bad, white males are to blame and the sun does not generate any heat to the earth, it is all American made. Period.

Cold places and hot places use more because they NEED more heat and AC. Large swaths of the US and China are in temperate regions.

Americans often comment on how expensive gas is in Canada, but I support our gas taxes. It is just the cost of being in a country the 3rd largest in the world with only 40 million people. The roads have to be paid for and better for it to come from its direct users. Look at Wyoming. After its share of federal interstate funds, it doesn’t have much other money to spend, with a population of 500,000 so its interstates are bumpy, not well maintained, no shoulders, ect...
