7. But in sheer volume of exports, not per capita, we're number 3.

I believe the OP speaks to net resource usage, not usage per capita, so it would make more sense to compare this to net exports, not exports per capita, no?

If you look at energy consumption per capita, were number 10. It looks like the highest energy users are places that are very hot or very cold, or both.

Cheer up, though... At at the rate middle class is disappearing, we'll be a third-world country soon, and our energy use will no doubt go down.
