I didn't notice that. And we think the Japanese are profligate energy wastrels. Ulp... But that checks out with these figures: USA: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 355.9 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 5.5 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 1.3 Japan: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 171.6 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 2.4 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 1.8 Germany: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 170.4 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 2.8 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 1.9 France: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 173.5 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 1.8 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 1.9 As opposed to: India: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 12.3 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 0.25 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 142.9 Sudan: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 2.3 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 0.04 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: 100 Nepal: Per Capita Energy Consumption: 2.3 million Btu Per Capita Carbon Emissions: 0.04 metric tons of carbon Number of People per Motor Vehicle: N/A :-( Thanks for the link.
