>Look no further than energy consumption per capita in the US. It's drastically higher than in other developed countries.

How much of this is due to the extreme temperatures that the US population experience that are completely unheard of in Europe?

That’s just not true, most of Eastern Europe sees extreme temperature variation similar to New England.

But most of the US lives MUCH further south than Europe, requiring a lot of AC, and also heating in the winter, because the temperature swings are so wild. Europe is more temperate, you don't get as often +25C and then freezing weather in 2 days.
