I strongly agree. We tend to take items like this at face value. I know I do. And then some attentive reader like Walker points out the truth of the matter. Thank you Walker.

I hate abuses of statistics like this.

Switzerland’s population is 2% of the US. So we use twice as much energy as they do (which is bad). But phrasing it like this preys on the innumeracy of the American people.
