We don't lose much sleep over how much oil the Middle East has.

Depends on what stats you are looking at. I see Canada as sixth and the US as Third.

I also see the US as leaping ahead:

But it doesn't matter because it's all tied in to the Middle East and the Middle East. The Middle East can manipulate prices causing huge problems. They did this during the oil embargo - I don't really remember it myself - But they sort of shot themselves in the foot... Because of the oil embargo everyone in the US lost interest in big gas guzzling cars.
