No one [in the west] cares about the [lack of consumption] of places like the Gaza Strip, Central African Republic, Chad, and so on. A headline referring to the consumption of Gaza or CAR would be rather obtuse with how little people know about the difficulties of either countries/areas. CAR being in perpetual civil war, Gaza being a land locked ghetto.
Palestine and CAR roughly use a bit more than a combined 200 Gigawatt hours/year. That’s low double digits kilowatt hours/yer/person.
For some context, the US uses 5 megawatt hours/year/person. That’s under 50K average electricity usage per year per person outdoing both countries with a combined population closing in on 150x. Obviously this is oversimplifying things but outdoing energy, carbon emissions, what have you, of a number of countries wouldn’t be difficult.
