I disagree. While most things are best measured per capita dividing it this way is kind of silly. China uses MUCH less energy per person than the US. As does every country. So it’s not really a useful comparison. It’s better to look at the percentage of total energy usage by country that is renewables. Dividing it by person ignores the fact that the average USian just uses an absolute metric fuckton of energy day to day. Like many times the global average. For China specifically, the average US person uses 2.5-3x more energy than the average Chinese person.

Good point. Population usage should be taken into account.
