[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog The US has plenty of oil, they're just putting off using it for as long as possible. It's the rest of the world that's -blam!-.[/quote] According to recent numbers The U.S. has about 19 billion barrels of oil as known reserves. They produce about 5.5 million a day. Canada has about 175 billion barrels of oil in known reserves and produces about 2.7 million barrels a day. At this rate the U.S. known reserves will last about 10 years. Canada's known reserves will last around 178. Venezuela trumps both with almost 300 billion barrels in known reserves and producing only 2.1 million a day. Their's would last around 390 years at that rate of production.
