Not sure where your figures are from but they are a good bit off

Canada is far more important, OPEC is still heavily involved though.

US Department of Energy, but it doesn't list the years covered.

I like your chart that shows Canada is 21% of our imported oil (I thought it was more), Opec countries 49%.

There is no reason for us to use so much oil in this day and age - we go through it like crack cocaine addicts.

Does anyone here know if oil is a finite or infinite resource?

Does the infinity of lack of infinity of a resource determine any decision made regarding that particular resource??
