Q: Which city uses the most electricity?
Your answer isn't valid unless you show hard evidence (ie, website URL).

If there is a correlation between population and electricity use (which makes sense), then wouldn't Tokyo be the winner with a population of 12.1 million?

This probably doesn't help, but it is kind of cool. Real time energy stats for CA and NY:
CA: http://energycrisis.lbl.gov/ca/
NY: http://energycrisis.lbl.gov/ny/
California uses more energy than NY overall, but I think CA has a larger population.

it depends on what you count as the city too. Or what companies generate the power. Are you talking all the adjacent suburbs that are technically part of the metro area? Or strictly the city limits boundaries even if that power plant provides power for users outside of the city limits?

Does this question pertain to the United States only? Because if it doesn't I would think that the city that consumes the most electricity would be Tokyo, Japan (pop: 28 million) or Mexico City (pop: 23 million).

LV population: 483 thousand
LV metro area: 1.5 million
What's the 483 thousand? Excluding Henderson and North Las Vegas (combined, still less than 1/4 of the population in the valley) we don't have suburbs, it's just one place...Las Vegas.
This was the only thing I could find on LV...
http://sierrapacificresources.com/im...rgysources.pdf Certainly not the most, but per capita we use a lot.

the world needs water - its not that they 'want' to live by it. Its because early settlers settled their fist - and cities started and haven't moved since. (just my 2 cents)

Also, the presence manufacturing and heavy industries would make a big difference: a huge factory running 24 hours a day consumes a lot of electricity. How many homes or people would that equal? And even if you could find stats, would an industrial complex that has it's own power plant be counted?Specializing in SEO and PPC management.
