Texas pumping more oil than some OPEC countries
We all know oil production in Texas has soared in recent years. But putting the rise in graphic form shows just how phenomenal the energy turnaround has been: The surge looks exponential.
In March, Texas oil production reached its highest level since 1984. That month, the Lone Star State pumped more than 74 million barrels of crude from the ground, which means if Texas were a country, it would be one of the 15 largest oil producers in the world.

Texas’ oil output has doubled in less than three years, putting it in the ranks of OPEC heavy-hitters like Venezuela, Kuwait and Nigeria.
As a whole, the United States produced 221 million barrels of crude in April, with more than a third coming from Texas.
The bad thing is New York, California and other states could be producing oil in similar fashions but the morons who control those states don't like real energy creation. No, Jerry Brown wants to spend billions on a train from nowhere to nowhere, solar panels that don't work and windmills no one wants.
