U.S. To Top Saudi Arabia In Oil ProductionThe United States is expected to become the world's top oil producer, topping Saudi Arabia and Russia, by 2017, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA),even projecting an "all but self-sufficient in net terms" U.S.: "The recent rebound in U.S. oil and gas production, driven by upstream technologies that are unlocking light tight oil and shale gas resources, is spurring economic activity - with less expensive gas and electricity prices giving industry a competitive edge," it added. The IEA said it saw a continued fall in U.S. oil imports with North America becoming a net oil exporter by around 2030 and the United States becoming almost self-sufficient in energy by 2035. "The United States, which currently imports around 20 percent of its total energy needs, becomes all but self-sufficient in net terms - a dramatic reversal of the trend seen in most other energy importing countries."

We already have plenty of production. Gas shortages are due to lack of refineries. |

Then why won't the tree huggers let a few more refineries be built in states that want to build a new refinery? |

Bumbler... The report is from the The International Energy Agency (IEA) Not the Obama or any other administration.  The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an autonomous organisation which works to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member countries and beyond. IEA Members are: Australia Austria Belgium Canada Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Japan Luxembourg Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Portugal Republic of Korea Slovak Republic Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom United States ~ (Be sure your Brain is engaged before putting your Keyboard in gear) ~ |
