[edit] The European Union

Despite what some (mainly Europeans) think, the EU is not a country, if we include the EU here, then lets include the UN, NATO, etc (Hypernick1980 03:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC))

This has been debated into oblivion already in other places. The EU is not like any other organization with regard to supranational power, it should be included in lists like these for comparison purposes but not ranked. --Bjarki 13:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps usage by continent could be included, but not ranked --User: stargate70

[edit] Per capita

A list describing consumption per capita would be much more relevant. Joffeloff 22:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Ooh, this has been done. Now the gluttony of my home country is clear to the world. Thankee. :) Joffeloff 14:42, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes but wouldn't a separate article be interesting anyway, so you can see who's on top and all? Evilbu 18:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe the table heading for "consumption" is incorrect. The numbers in that column appear to be in units of megawatt-hours, not the stated gigawatt-hours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.59.246 (talk) 21:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
