Where Our Oil Comes From

Canada is our chief supplier these days thanks to the tar sands. This is what awaits Wyoming and the shale.

Africa as a group is number 2 and provides more than the Middle East. Consider this:

Nigeria, the giant of the region, supplies 10-12% of U.S. oil imports.

And don't forget Mexico, they are still #2 as a single country, I haven't checked but I'd say Nigeria is pretty high up in the lists.

All that to suggest that Americans need to take a deep breath before condemning Middle East oil countries. The picture is changing.
