what about energy consumption per capita?
What about it? Energy production basically has to equal energy consumption in the medium term, so if the grandparent comment is correct, it is 2x per capita.
Dunno how trustworthy this source is, but it says ~35 MWh/person in China and 77 MWh/person in USA.
