Re: partly true, but nice graphs (none / 0)

TOE stands for "tonne of oil equivalent".

See for example Wikipedia's List of countries by Energy Intensity

for the year 2003. It is given in units of tonnes of oil equivalent per million constant year 2000 international dollars.

The US beat China, but not by much (just 5%). Both were slightly above the world average.

And now we only have to postulate that they have exactly the same energy consumption patterns to be able to use that measure to compare the energy efficiency of industry products.

Hmf... I am slow today... I just reread ManfromMiddletons comment, and he doesnt actually seem to be directly comparing industry products but to be talking about the Chinese need for oil. I will stop attacking strawmen now. :)
