Surprising Statistic of the Day - Worldwide Energy Consumption Leaders

Gartman asked this question in his newsletter this morning: What nation has the largest consumption per capita of energy?

I was way off, as in not even close. Here is a list of the top ten from the IEA from 2000*

1. Qatar 26,773
2. Iceland 12,246
3. Kuwait 10,529
4. UAE 10,175
5. Bahrain 9,858
6. Luxembourg 8,409
7. Canada 8,156
8. USA 8,148
9. Trinidad 6,660
10. Finland 6,409

*Units: Kilograms of oil equivalent (kgoe) per person per year, 2001 stats are available which Gartmen says are not official. Whatever. The composition remains nearly the same for both years.
