U.S. consumption has been around 22KWh/day/capita for a long time. The rest of the world is much lower. The 22KWh/day/capita includes gasoline and diesel. I don't see Americans wanting to consume 30KWh/day for current uses. Do you?

Source? According to OurWorldInData[0] the number is closer to 220 kWH/capita/day, although it does show the usage as stable or even declining over the last decade. According to the US Energy Information Administration[1] total energy usage seems to have increased. That particular chart stops at 2009, but this tool[2] using their data shows 1. stable usage since ~2007 and 2. roughly 10% increase since 1995, and a 3-fold increase since the start of the data in 1950. By a long time, did you mean since 2007? [0]: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab=chart&country=~USA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use?tab...
