Just realised that's misleading: > a typical person in a rich country [...] uses about 1.5 MWh/year That's just electricity, not energy. The real figure is probably ballpark 50 to 100 percent higher (probably mainly depending on climate for heating/cooling demands and the heating method being used) but I haven't looked that up now. Just wanted to remark this (can't edit anymore) so it's no longer completely misleading
