    global production is all outsourced to india and mainly china.

    their carbon emissions correspond not only to their own population, but to produce goods for most of the world.

      yes and hence why it is currently only reasonable to compare things like total renewable energy production vs total household energy requirements of a country. production energy is too global to tackle with this approach. and so why I just casually mentioned population is an important factor in how much renewable energy you should be producing.
