Of that, 6.3 million bbl. a day-or 35% of the nation's oil consumption and 18% of its total energy-flows from abroad. If the U.S. could pare its oil demands by 1 million bbl. a day -a mere 3% of all the energy that it uses-the benefits might be considerable, not only for America but for the rest of the world as well...
