In the United States:
Americans constitute 5% of the world's population but consume 24% of the world's energy.
On average, one American consumes as much energy as
- 2 Japanese
- 6 Mexicans
- 13 Chinese
- 31 Indians
- 128 Bangladeshis
- 307 Tanzanians
- 370 Ethiopians
If undeveloped countries consumed at the same rate as the US, four complete planets the size of the Earth would be required.
