Average power per capital/ watts per person according to wiki:
USA: 1460
Germany 822
France: 851
UK: 667

that guy probably bumped the USA figure by a few points all by himself.

nah, they don't even use much electricity for heating:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_ ... in_Iceland
About 85% of all houses in Iceland are heated with geothermal energy.[2]

Renewable energy provides 100 percent of electricity production, with about 70 percent coming from hydropower and 30 percent from geothermal power.
More likely industry. They ship aluminium ore to iceland for processing cause the electricity is cheap.
Electric power represents about 20% to 40% of the cost of producing aluminium, depending on the location of the smelter. Aluminium production consumes roughly 5% of electricity generated in the U.S.
