Apparently the US gets more oil from Canada than any other country, according to a report that Random Roger just saw on CNN. The full results are here: “Where The US Gets Its Oil.” This is no doubt only going to increase as US tries to wean itself off foreign oil and the Alberta oil sands increase production, according to theNational Post:
According to data obtained by the Reuters news agency, the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates America’s oil imports from Canada will almost double by 2025, from 1.6 million barrels a day to 2.7 million barrels a day. The vast majority of that increased production will come from Alberta’s oil sands, which are expected to produce as much as three million barrels a day by 2020 . . . In October, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch said Canada was poised to surpass Saudi Arabia as “the world’s oil giant” in the 21st century.
