That's a pretty useless metric, though: every industrialized nation 'burns stuff', and if it happens that you can't produce at home, you need to import.
While not a poster child, Germany is far from the worst offender as far as CO2 emission per capita goes.
- Someone 14y agoI answered the grandfather's question "Does Germany import a lot of power?" Also, I think that is highly relevant. If you do not include imports, countries with few natural sources automatically will appear to be green. For example, I bet many small island groups will have close to 100% renewable energy production, including those with huge navy bases such as Truk and Diego Garcia.
