The U.S Dominates Oil and Gas Production





     In this article written by Jude Clemente for Forbes, I learned that our country, the United States has more than doubled the oil reserves that we have to around 65 billion barrels. On top of this, our natural gas reserves have risen to over 80% to a whopping 430 trillion cubic feet. We are now the largest producer of oil and gas, and I think that's pretty crazy. We are also expected to supply over a whole 60% of new oils and gasses to the world in the 2020's.

     I think this shows just how much fuel we use in our everyday lives. Our use of different fuels are rising every single day, and our supply of these gasses constantly increasing shows this.

    While I’m not surprised the US is the lead consumer of natural gas and oil, I had not realized how much we actually used compared to the rest of the world.

    And this may not be a great thing. Nice we don't have to import, but even less incentive for us to back away from oil...
