I found this on prudentbear.com the other day:

>Between 1964 and 1997 (most recent available data from the US Census Bureau), 
>the amount of total retail space per person in the U.S. has jumped almost 300% to 
>19 square feet per person.  Now, several research firms put the number at over 20 
>square feet.  By the way, Europe has about one and a half square feet per person.

And I guess most of these stores have air conditionning...
BTW, the USA have imported a record amount of oil last year.
