To be fair the average "new" house is the US is almost twice as big as the average new house in the Germany. Also there is a link between weather and energy usage. An average household in Louisiana or California uses way more electricity than New York's average. Germany ranks very high in terms of renewable energy ratio and I think that's more remarkable.
