Energy Consumption Trends

I was preparing to completely disagree with you, but then looked at the data[1] and it seems the energy consumption per capita in the US and the UK is sort of stable over the last 20 years. That said, world average is about a quarter what it is in the US, so it may be growing for a long time to come.[1]: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.USE.ELEC.KH.PC

Great. How about the % of energy consumption?

Those stats are not for electricity, they're for total energy consumption including transportation.

I'm not sure if you're trolling, but countries like Germany and Japan are at nearly half the US figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_energy_co...

Here’s a comparison to the US energy consumption. For the sake of getting a full picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States

Electricity is not the only energy we consume, you have to see calories as a whole: transport, chemistry, making building, etc.Also, the US delegated most of the industry in Asia, and the energy consumption moved there.If you buy an iphone in the US, the energy used to create and ship that iphone doesn't appear on the US consumption, yet it is american.And of course, any local consumption is affecting the world as a whole.

It's looking at total energy consumption, not electricity consumption. The UK only generates about 4500 kWh per person each year - far off that 30,000 kWh number. In the UK (not sure about the US, but it's probably similar), about 25% of our energy consumption is space heating, 30% is road transport, 10% is air transport, 11% is domestic use and the remaining 24% or so is services and industrial. We don't really do AC here - I imagine that's a big chunk of use in southern US

Perhaps they are conflating it with annual electricity consumption, which is about 4000 kwh per capita per yearhttps://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=49036

Easily: just need the energy consumption of a medium sized country

Not at all! For the last few decades, reductions due to efficiency gains has far outpaced increased demand. For example, we nowadays build much more well-isolated homes which reduces the need for electrical heating in colder climates, and air conditioning in hotter ones. I don't think there is any Western country in which the per capita consumption of electricity has grown significantly over the last 20 years.
