On The Road To Energy Independence: US Produced 91% Of All Energy It Consumed -- Sets Record For Sixth Consecutive Year -- A Three-Peat Doubled

From the EIA today:

Total U.S. energy production increased for the sixth consecutive year.

According to data in EIA's most recent Monthly Energy Review, energy production reached a record 89 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu), equivalent to 91% of total U.S. energy consumption.

Liquid fuels production drove the increase, with an 8% increase for crude oil and a 9% increase for natural gas plant liquids. Natural gas production also increased 5%. These gains more than offset a 10% decline in coal production. --- EIA
