- wmf 3y agoUS/Canada has a higher standard of living and is also less energy-efficient. These factors are multiplicative so the resulting difference is large.
- sanxiyn 3y agoUS and Canada drive larger cars with worse fuel efficiency. This is one of primary causes.
- timbit42 3y agoOne reason for Canada is the use of a lot of energy to heat buildings in the winter. Canada has a lot of hydro power in British Columbia and Quebec, but the prairie provinces don't and use natural gas instead.
