I'll play.

Why should the public be motivated to cut energy use in half?

The statistic is often quoted: "The U.S. has 5% of the world's population
but consumes 25% of the world's energy."

That's true, but has as much meaning as the ratio of pistachio production to
cases of athletes foot.

Another statistic is: "The U.S. consumes 25% of the world's energy and
produces 27% of the world's Gross Domestic Product." Here there IS a
relation between the two numbers.
