    Europe is not a country. Fuck are you comparing US with a part of the world?

    US population is 300 millions
    EU (without Norway, Switzerland etc) -- 500 millions

    U.S. = 19.5 million barrels of oil/ day
    EU = 14.3 million barrels/ day

    Consumption per capita:
    US = 0.065 barrel of oil per person
    EU = 0.0286n

    • Sure, I'm comparing them, it's a more useful comparison than just bundling them all under "other."ukit
    • U.S. is the worst in terms of absolute numbers - but Europe, EU or not, is not far behind and far worse than the rest of the world.ukit
    • world. If we go per capita, Canada is worst, then U.S., but hey, Norway is pretty bad too...ukit
    • EU overall is a lot lower per capita but it's also a lot poorer per capita, US $46k vs EU $33kukit
    • Countries with high per capita GDP (like Netherlands) are nearly as bad as the U.S. with consumption. Poorer countries like Czech Republic are what drives EU's average down.ukit
    • like Czech Republic are what drives EU's average down.ukit
    • So , high GDP is an excuse for high oil consumptiondrgsss
    • More like high GDP is only possible through high oil consumption.ukit
    • With current technology/ infrastructure anyway.ukit
