Discuss the GDP per capita versus energy efficiency figure in terms of Hong Kong?
























Above is a figure showing the GDP per capita versus energy efficiency for the leading 40 countries in the world according to their GDP. 

Based on the figure, it seems as if Hong Kong is in the best position out of all the 40 countries. It's close to being a highly energy efficient region, while also maintaining a highly productive GDP per capita.

It is interesting to note that the bulk of the 40 countries lie in the energy inefficient region. To cut down on total worldwide energy production, this statistic needs to change drastically.
