Who was it who claimed that the US gets most of its oil from Canada?

Bullshit (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0922041.html)

In 2004, the US imported 11.8 million barrels per day and consumed 20.5 million barrels per day.

Canada produced 3.14 million barrels per day (US produced 8.69 million) and exported less than a million barrels per day.

So, where does the US get its oil from?

Anybody care to elucidate?

http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html

I think what was posited was that Canada was the biggest single supplier of oil to the US and that is true.

Canada sends over 99% of its crude oil exports to the U.S., and the country is one of the most important sources of U.S. oil imports. During the first eleven months of 2004, Canada exported 1.62 million bbl/d of crude oil to the U.S., the single-largest component of U.S. crude oil imports. Canada also sent some 500,000 bbl/d of petroleum products to the U.S. during this period, the most from a single country.

Whoop-de-doo.

My point was that Canada (and the US, BTW) have rarely been attacked in history because we're both quite far away from most other nations around the world.

The Germans and Japanese in WWII could only really attack our shipping, not our land masses (although, as an interesting aside, the Japanese DID manage to launch some balloons that landed in the US and DID have a mini-plane launch from a submarine that dropped a few bombs in the woods in Oregon, but those are stories for another day....).

Canada also sent some 500,000 bbl/d of petroleum products to the U.S. during this period, the most from a single country. OK, my bad. I thought that it was stated that the US gets most of its oil from Canada.

On the link (http://www.cis.state.mi.us/mpsc/reports/energy/02summer/oilimports.htm) you gave, in 2001, Canada supplied 1.79 million barrels per day to the US, which is about 15% of the 11.62 million barrels per day imported by the US in 2001.

So, Canada is, obviously, not able to supply enough oil to the US, on its own.

On the same link, Canada doesn't even feature on the table labelled "Top World Oil Net Exporters, 2001", nor on any other tables I can find, so the US definitely needs to get the other 85% of its oil from somewhere... especially when some of the oil they used to get from Canada is going to be sold to China (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000087&sid=aguAtMPgK3Vw&refer=top_world_news#) as punishment for ignoring NAFTA agreements. Canada's Prime Minister Paul Martin has said the nation may seek new customers for its oil after the U.S. ignored a North American Free Trade Act ruling ordering it to change duties on softwood lumber. Cracking the whip, eh? :p

My point is, I suppose, that I feel that the thread, about Canada selling all of its oil to the US, was designed to make us think that the US has no need to lean on and invade oil-rich countries, because they get plenty from Canada.

Not so. Hence the attempted coup in Venzuela, Iraq war, Iran WMD accusations, etc. Big, thirsty country needs oil and will do anything to get it.

As for the whole oil debate....where do you stand as far as starting up new nuclear capacity not just in the US, but worldwide, as a means to energy production? Where should the waste go?That is the billion-zillion-gazillion euro question!

Nuclear energy is cheap, clean, plentiful and virtually endless... but, as usual, there's a catch.

I personally advocate two things:

1) using less energy more efficiently
2) spending the money, currently being poured into looking for more oil, on finding ways to generate power from other sources.

Energy's all around us, man, like we just have to, like find a way to, like harness it man (pass the bong).

Fortunately, it looks like the astronomical oil prices and the trouble in the oil-rich areas is driving (haha) us that way. We just have to get the Oil Men out of the White House, disband the CIA and get somebody like Nader in Office and all will be well.

It's fun here in La La land.

P.S. I hear they are about to legalise the Weed in Vacouver! Apparently this is so that they can deal with all the smack addicts.

The terrorists don't blow themselves up in canada because they get universal healthcare and all the pot they want!!
If I was going to attempt to blow myself up I'd prefer doing so in a country with proper health care. I mean, I'm clumsy, you never know if something might go wrong.

Wouldn't want to have to pay for health care if I only manage to blow chunks of myself off.

Plus I'd want pot.

I agree with most of this....except the point about using less energy more efficiently.

I guess the query becomes if there exists a truly finite amount of energy to exploit or not. It takes a TON of energy to get nuclear reactions going and sustained to employ as usable energy. AND, it takes power lines, and the ability to store the waste.

Living in Nevada, where they're looking at storing most of the nuclear waste in the US, I guess the whole subject hits kinda close to home.

I think it might be something to do with Canada not being a war-loving aggressive nation that hates muslims or backs human rights abuses in the middle east and also something to do with not ever having invaded anyone, deposed or destabilised democratically elected governments.

Just a theory.

Of course we don't support human rights abuses in the middle east because were too busy abusing the human rights of the native population right here at home (eh).

Plus his line of reasoning is flawed.

Hitler was "democratically" elected as the President of Germany, and Canada and Canadians participated in "overthrowing" him during WWII.

I don't remember Hitler being put in power and then sold weapons by the same people who later invaded him.

Flawed reasoning, indeed.

Saddam was taking it back. Nobody'd have given even half of one piece of poo if it hadn't been for all that oil.

And the Nazis turned the steel into WHAT?

The US and Canada and the USSR and Britain and France and ALL the allies of WWII DID depose Hitler and his cronies.....Hitler just cheated us all by offing himself before he could be "formally" deposed.

Goering and Himmler did the same AFTER they were caught. A bunch of the other higher up Nazis were tried (Nuremburg) and were convicted and sentenced....some to death and others to long prison terms.

Sounds very much like what has happened in Iraq.

BTW, Sadaam was NOT minding his own business all those years in power : he went after Iran, the Kurds and Kuwait formally....and was threatening Saudi Arabia before the UN stepped in and, under US military command, ousted his ass out of Kuwait and created no-fly zones over the Kurds and Shiites.

But....I'm sure you all have you're rhetoric ready about how all this is supposedly SOOOO different than what is occurring in Iraq.....

Hey, you forgot about what happened when the neo-Nazi German insurgency started up, targeting civilians and Allied troops with car bombs and roadside bombs and RPGs, and beheading people on videotape, and assassinating government officials, and lunatics pouring in over the Austrian border to join in. Boy, Germany was a heady place to live after World War II ended.


he went after Iran


Wasn't that Ronnie Ray-gun's idea? Or no, wait... he was on Iran's side. That's why he sold them all those weapons. Or no... wait... he must have been on Nicaragua's side.

And all that German oil is now safely in the hands of the Allies.
