Fun Facts from the CIA

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), was formed in 1947 in the National Security Act. It is a civilian intelligence agency whose primary function is to collect and analyze information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policymakers. Every year they publish a fact book about every country in the world, that is available online for free.

Now, I'd like to pull out some fun facts from the CIA:

Economy

United States

Oil - consumption 20.8 million bbl/day (2005 est.)
Oil - imports 13.15 million bbl/day (2004)
Oil - proved reserves 21.76 billion bbl (1 January 2006 est.)

MATH TIME.
20,800,000 (oil used per day) xTIMESx 365 (days in a year)= 8216000000 (oil used in a year)
21,760,000,000 (oil we have) /DIVIDED BY/ 8216000000 (oil used in a year) = 2.648 (years it would last.)


So that means if we pump all the oil in the US. Right now, we would go through it in 2 and 1/2 years. Hmmm... so whats next?
