Interesting. I was looking at another DOE site:

http://www.ott.doe.gov/facts/archives/fotw246.shtml

The figures used are for the first 8 months of 2002. It probably got too cold in Canada to import anymore oil, as winter starts sometime in August :-).

>>I don't think the 60% figure is accurate. In fact, most people would be surprised to learn that the country we import the most oil from is...

>>Canada!

>>>The United States uses a great deal of oil. In 1973 we had an oil crisis when Opec (Arab nations) raised prices. We had long lines of cars waiting to buy gasoline and in California we had odd and even days based upon license plates, which determined when you could purchase gasoline.
>>>
>>>When the crisis was over the price of gasoline went from 28.9 cents to over 70 cents a gallon within a short time. Mobil oil took out advertisement pages in national magazines to tell us they were solving the problem! Good for them! They had just invested $250 million in oil exploration. Guess where they were looking? In Arab Nations!
>>>
>>>Few people understand our dependency upon Arab oil in 1973 was 6%. Today I have read it is 60%. Huston we have a problem!
>>>
>>>We have helped to make many Arabs rich and we are getting paid back. In exchange for our oil money some rich individuals in Arab nations have created a paradox. They hate us and use our money to attempt to destroy us. Without money these people will only have sand and dates to concern themselves with.
>>>
>>>Some Arab leaders buy the weapons of war with oil profits. Why help your nation and its people when you can be king of the hill?
>>>
>>>Our president and vice president have close ties to the oil industry. This administration seems to lack any interest in the environment. Why should they? An important agenda for President Bush has been to open up Alaska as a source for additional oil.
>>>
>>>President bush stated we should be free of dependency of Arab oil around 2040, with the development of Hydrogen Fuel Cells. Why not now? President Bush may not be around to see or experience such a day. In the mean time he still has his foot in oil.
>>>
>>>We are spending at least $87 billion in Iraq. Why not spend money to create Hydrogen Fuel Cells to free us from Arab oil and oil in general? This would cut back the profits Arab nations receive from our oil purchases. We might find that terrorism decreases around the world. Does that have value to the world? I would think that such a thought does not set well with the oil barons on either side of the pond.
