Granted... and i think even the Americans would acknowledge their per capita resource consumption verges on "sickening".... but on the flipside they also house/own/operate and invented a LOT of what could be considered global infrastructure.

(lol... they also thought it was a cool idea back in the 60's/70's to develop 3 tonne cars with 6 litre engines to drive one person to work... and somehow this was enshrined into their culture??? Altho i can think of another western country that has an obsession with large cars and this has become a part of its culture over the years... that 5.4L donk is a beauty though isnt it?!?!)

Scary thoughts ahead.... China currently consumes a fraction of the USA's daily oil consumption. But is tipped to surpass this level of consumption within the next 15 years.

Will make GasOlane's picture even prettier!!

"But it's ok because they're an emerging economy/developing nation"... lol.... the World is an amazing place
