The reason why we are high on carbon production per capita is because of our small population. In any business, there are always fixed and various costs involved. The same principle applies here that certain amount of carbon produced is fixed no matter what the population is.

Compounding this is transmission of power over vast distances to generally very low population density cities and towns, unlike many smaller area but higher population density European or Asian countries.
