Is the US still the largest user of energy in the world? How about per capita?
My guess is that it is up there, so why bother pointing the finger elsewhere?

This story is about coal usage. China and India use far more coal than the US.

Given it's trade complexity, a significant portion of its coal use goes toward the manufacture of other peoples consumables to met other peoples demand.
Like it or not the US is part of that chain.
I think you need an edit there
The pointing to China and India is pointless. If you invest in other forms of energy, you also set an example for others. And you don't have any right to complain about the pollution of others if you're still polluting more.
And the US, still the richest country in the world, should absolutely take the lead here, instead of demanding that China and India take the lead. China and India should absolutely clean up their energy sector, but so should the US and the EU.
