What is the TOE per person based on ?
I hope I am correct in assuming the statistic is based on one year per person, but I'd like to be assured of this. |

Is there any energy statistic per Nation based on the actual consumptions of goods in that Nation? |

If that's the total weighted average for the 18 listed there (which I suppose it is), then what would be the whole world average, the whole spending average of all of earth? |

Does anybody know the Energy statistics per person for The Caribbean, South Africa and/or Brunei.
Thanks! =) |

I would like to see it expressed as kilowat hours per person per year. |

To Andrew's point. The US figure is actually understated due to trade. The US imports more than it exports (trade deficit is 6% of GDP). This understatement is compounded because the US imports more energy-intensive products like steel and exports more agricultural goods which require little energy to produce (the solar input direct to plants in not included). Conversely, China's energy comsumption would be overstated, because approx 10% of its energy goes to producing goods enjoyed by foreigners like us. |

Is this based on all the energy consumed in each country? If you normalize for industrial usage, how does the world compare? Seems that the US might do better than it appears by removing industrial uses, which one could argue get at least in part exported.... |
