A study by the Washington-based "American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy" gave the gold medal to Germany as the most energy-efficient major economy. In general, Europe takes the best positions.

Surprisingly (at least for me), China achieves a good position in the ranking.

Not so surprisingly, the USA rank poorly, reaching 13th in 16, while Australia gets a warning for its inflexion in energy policies.

Mexico takes a shameful last place.
