North America: The new energy kingdom
NEIL REYNOLDS
Includes correction
The American Petroleum Institute reports that the United States produced more crude oil in October than it has ever produced in a single month, “peak oil” or not.
This reversal of trend helps explain why U.S. domestic production for the year will be 140,000 barrels a day higher than last year (which was 410,000 barrels a day higher than 2008). Although the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) says U.S. production will decline next year, who knows?

With "fourtunately" a correction at the bottom of the page :
Correction: U.S. domestic crude oil production reached 5.5 million barrels a day in October, half the production of the U.S. “peak oil” high in 1970. Incorrect information was published in this online and in the print versions of this column.
Some comments also quite amazing such as :
All of 'creation' is actually an ocean of potential . We will not run out of energy so long as we are optimistic enough to get up in the morning . The Earth itself is a blazing hot heat sink 20 km under your feet. And just wait another century or so , until we begin harnessing the resources of the inner Solar system. The 10 X solar power at Mercury. The zero G mines of the Asteroid Belt.
But most of them correcting the info in fact
