Top Ten Crude Oil Producing Counties In The US -- September 1, 2015

The other day I posted the top ten crude oil producing counties in the US, but did not provide the link.

This is the link (a dynamic link). The most recent data is for July, 2015.

This is the original post.

A reader wrote in wondering about Kern County, California; at one time, it was near the top of the list, among the top three as recently as 2013, maybe 2014. For the life of me I can't find any current data on Kern County oil production but I can find many, many articles on dire situation in Kern County due to low oil prices.

If anyone has a link for current Kern County, California, oil production, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Cold Weather Gear

Results of the poll in which we asked if we would see President Obama wearing cold weather gear in Alaska? The picture provides the story. Hard to say: looks like a heavy jacket one might wear in Washington, DC, during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. At least one reporter, in the back, had his parka on.

Results of the poll:

• Yes, we will see President Obama in cold weather gear: 18%
• No, we will not see President Obama in cold weather gear: 82%

Updates

Later, 9:11 p.m. Central Time: photo here answers the question; doesn't look like any evidence of global warming here. Remember, this is summer, indoors.

Original Post

I wonder if the president will be seen in cold weather gear. Forecast is for freezing weather and snow in various parts of Alaska.

Sorry about all the polls. Two of these polls will come off the list fairy soon (by the end of the week). It's possible all three will be closed out by the end of the week.
