Per-capita doesn't work because denying AC doesn't have the same effect in Nevada and Alaska ... and heating the reverse. There are a lot of places where humans can live "for free" energy-wise, and most places where they can't.

So let's get real: we need to get all humans up to at least European per-capita energy expenditure levels. Timing can be discussed, but it's when, not if. And lowering per-capita energy expenditure ... more than 10-20% is just not in the cards.
