Here is the command I used to put the arrow on the chart: points(31.5, 25, pch=">", col="red", xpd=NA) I will put the whole thing up on github shortly. The charts were indeed produced using R.

That means switching off your 2W standby power on your TV = peeing in the Pacific!

This possibly a more "social equity" view as it shows energy consumprion by "smug" countries rich in say hydro power (eg Norway) and/or nuclear (eg Canada). It also shows lower ranking of "compact" countries (eg UK) where vehicle use is lower than sprawling countries (eg USA, Australia) who rely(perhaps too) heavily on road transport. This view also cleaqrly shows the extremely low consumption of the very poor countries (eg many African states). Here is the IEA's top 40 for 2007 in Million BTU/capita: 1 Virgin Islands, U.S. 2138 2 Gibraltar 2049 3 Qatar 1145 4 Netherlands Antilles 744 5 Bahrain 736 6 Trinidad and Tobago 671 7 Iceland 664 8 United Arab Emirates 634 9 Singapore 504 10 Brunei 487 11 Kuwait 461 12 Canada 418 13 Norway 414 14 Luxembourg 413 15 United States 337 16 Australia 295 17 North America 277 18 Saudi Arabia 267 19 Belgium 263 20 Montserrat 257 21 Finland 254 22 Sweden 249 23 Netherlands 246 24 Faroe Islands 243 25 Bahamas, The 226 26 Russia 215 27 New Zealand 215 28 Taiwan 208 29 Korea, South 200 30 Kazakhstan 198 31 Turkmenistan 193 32 Estonia 191 33 Austria 184 34 Nauru 179 35 Oman 179 36 New Caledonia 178 37 Japan 176 38 France 176 39 Saint Pierre/Miquelon 172 40 Germany 172 Presumably the Virgin Islands and Gibraltar have all-encompasing air-conditioned domes???
