I'm not so surprised the China generates 40% electricity than the US+EU -- it has almost 2x as many people. I *am* surprised that the EU w/ 450M people generates so much less than the US with 340M. #EnergySky

Whaat?! Have the cosmic voids experienced a few billion extra years of time, just because there's less gravity out there than in the filaments?
