QUOTE:
"Net 2009 U.S. imports of 11.5 million barrels per day exceeded China’s
TOTAL OIL CONSUMPTION of 8.6 million barrels per day by 33 percent.
Americans, with a population of 310 million, consumed 18.7 million
barrels per day in 2009 compared to China, a country with 1.32 billion
people, which consumed a mere 8.6 million barrels per day. This works
out to 22 barrels of oil consumption per American in 2009 compared to
2.4 barrels per person in China. . . ."
I doubt you will read this in the N. Y. Times.
