Good point; I agree but I don't have this figure handy. The "this many persons" was more of a fun aside, though. The main thing to know is that it's 1% of electricity in the USA as well as a big impact on the world's CO2 budget.

Oxfam Extreme Carbon Inequality had something like 16 ton average and 8 ton median for the US. Here in Finland it's around 7 and 11 but we're one of the most equal countries but still the difference is big.
I'm too tired to look up the sources but OECD ones can be found from the stated report though a few years old by now.
IMO average should be ditched and median used instead for personal emissions for a country. Even in reasonably low inequality OECD countries the difference between average and median is substantial as a low percentage of people drive the average high.
