Americans are known to love our electricity. We love our televisions, hot water, air conditioning, coffee pots, stoves, toasters and game consoles with all of hearts and souls. Apparently, we love all those things much more than Europeans. So sorry, we enjoy luxury in The States.
Can someone please explain why an average American needs twice as much energy as an average European? pic.twitter.com/1JhvKPU8Mv

Great question, thanks for asking

It's to power our dramatically higher material standard of living https://t.co/3Uy0KjMems
We may also be a bit cocky.
Because America is awesome and Europe is a sweaty, non-air conditioned, zero-growth mess https://t.co/Yp8KJWS0p7

Half of the difference is air conditioning.

Half of the remainder is refrigerating our milk.
Then there are the ice cubes in our water.
Finally, we have light up stuff like this. https://t.co/VNYeP1Pzc1 pic.twitter.com/TM06Wv4W2V
The average American lives in a home that’s 2X the size of an average person in Europe, owns more cars per capita, and even has access to working air conditioning in the summer.

We live very different lifestyles. https://t.co/uYIcpkqeHE
To be clear, the American lifestyle is preferable and better.
it's because europe is poor relative to the US.

the ability to produce and use energy is literally what makes you rich and enables high standards of living. https://t.co/PcT4UPOs2g pic.twitter.com/gvJdItCO9g
Because Europe sucks and the USA is #1. Any more questions? https://t.co/ns3xQin25z pic.twitter.com/3Y8v2RNLGI

It's so our elderly don't die when it's 85 degrees outside https://t.co/xBKROCWRUO

We respect our elders. We might stick them in assisted living homes, but we keep them cool.
We are more productive & wealthier. We want and can afford a more comfortable lifestyle & are free to make these choices for ourselves. https://t.co/xIEtnn5Arg

Sometimes several times per day.
Can someone please explain why the average American would give a damn about how much energy the average European uses? We don't care about Europe, Europe's laws, Europe's energy consumption, etc... https://t.co/D6dvrEI0dg
— G (@TCC_Grouchy) September 8, 2025
Europe is obsessed with America. We are free not to care at all about them.
