One little thing that stuck out:

The USA leads the way in terms of household electric usage in the world – an average US household consumes approximately 975 kilowatt-hours of electricity each month, three times more than for example the United Kingdom.

Which got me wondering how big US domiciles are versus those in the UK. Turns out: lot of big-ass houses here in the US.

2164 sq. ft vs. 818 sq. ft

Which sure would explain that difference.
