The Us produces 13,000,000 tones of two things. The most worrying of the two is the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (the KYOTO protocol agreement could help here). The second thing is monetary coinage i.e. loose change.

In the US, the average use is about 14,000 KWh per person per year.  I live in Canada, and our per person average is slightly higher, at about 17,000 KWh/ person/year.  However, Canada has the highest per capita electricity use of any country.  In Quebec, the number is close to 26,000 KWh/person/year.  Much of the energy in Canada comes from Hydro, while most of the energy in the US comes from coal-burning plants.

The biggest thing is rice.  They are one of the largest producers in the world.  They grow pineapples, apples, oranges.  They also grow things that we don't have in the US like Som-O, Nga, Mango, Malagore (dragon fruit).  They have these huge things the size of footballs called durians (that really stink, but they say they taste good) and another called a jack fruit that has a very rough exterior.

USA is very powerful!

Might makes right. And the US is the wealthiest and most militarily powerful nation at the moment, so the US gets to make the rules for everyone else.\n\nEspecially nations that have natural resources our largest industries/corporations want to control.

No, but it is true that the USA produces most of the world's wealth so I think we're entitled to use as much of the world's resources as we want.

We = U.S.?  Yes, "we" should.  The electricity demand is going to rise significantly over the next several decades - we could build hundred of cola/gas fired plants, removing it from car/truck consumption and from plastics and other industries feedstock OR a couple of baseload nuclear plants.  The new ones are passively safe and generate no greenhouse gases, or other toxic emissions unlike fossil fuel plants that create tons (including releasing radioactivity).  There is the spent fuel issue - however, if the US could get the geologic repository licensed and operating, or recycle the spent fuel, we'd be a lot better off.
