Is the US the New Middle East? | The Big Picture

Tried to find the whole Bloomberg article but couldn't. I point you to the eye-catching graph at The Big Picture.

" "Shipments of gasoline, diesel fuel and other products surpassed imports by an average of 439,000 barrels a day in 2011, according to the department. Last year was the first time since 1949 that the U.S. was a net exporter. Crude-oil output exceeded 2 billion barrels for the first time since 2003.

"The U.S. has become the fastest-growing oil and natural-gas producing area of the world," Edward L. Morse, Citigroup's New York-based head of global commodities research, and half a dozen colleagues wrote in the report. Greater output from Canada and a rebound in Mexico point to bigger increases in North American production "than all of OPEC can sustain." "
