+ Americans have the right to use as much energy as we like
When I buy a bottle of water, the price includes the cost of making the bottle, which includes the value of its ingredients. The term "Waste" is hard to define. It's certainly not a waste for the user, as he takes full advantage of the product he buys. You can say that it was a less efficient way of using that energy, and you might have a "better" use for it. It's your right to buy that same energy and use it in your more efficient way if you like, and mine to use it in my less efficient way. Americans therefore, are wrongly indicted on the count of "wasting" energy, as they are not using something they didn't pay for.
