Energy Intensity vs. per Capita GDP
From the EIA, I plotted this:
Norway and Canada are profligate energy users. "But," you protest, "it's colder there!" Yes, but it's colder in Japan, too. Japan, though, doesn't have much hydro from which to produce electricity; they have to import it all. The expense of importing all of their energy disciplines them to make better use of it. The spot marked "United" is the US.
