How do they compare with China in terms of energy use per capita? China is the world's factory, this level of industrial output requires a lot of energy.

It depends. France is on a similar level to China, but much cleaner, Sweden and Norway are well above China. The other use much less. It is complex for sure. Especially when you consider efficiency as well.
