this goes back to 06, and cananda was the single largest national sources since then - tRuMaN Sep 6, 20:43 12
- Well I will be dammed. I did read Mexico started keeping more of theirs and exports lowered due to that -- nm - Bacon via droid Sep 6, 20:45 11
  - this seems to imply it happened back in 2004 -- (link) - tRuMaN Sep 6, 20:45 10
    - Aaah thx Tru. I was curious. -- nm - Bacon via droid Sep 6, 20:47 9
      - saudi arabia had been #1 since the late 90s per that chart, mexico was second, then canada passed both in 04. now nigeria is making a move for top 3 -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 20:48 8
        
        It's ultimately sort of irrelevant. All the oil pumped out of the ground gets consumed by somebody. Whether it comes from here or there doesn't really - Reagen Sep 6, 21:48 1
        
        sure, but if Iran blocks the Straight or a major war in Nigeria breaks out, the US will be better off with Canada as their major supplier -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 04:24
        
        We are such oil hogs -- nm - Bacon via droid Sep 6, 20:50 5
        
        when does china pass us on consumption? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 6, 20:52 4
        
        Canada is threatening to send the oil to China because we won't buid that pipeline -- nm - Bacon via droid Sep 6, 20:54 3
        
        now that would be one hell of a pipeline -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 6, 21:01 2
        
        Pipeline to the west coast, oil tankers to china. Worst plan ever. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 21:05 1
        
        Giant Catapluts is the current second option... -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 04:25
