To increase oil production the United States would have to expand the area of which drilling is allowed. The majority of the United States oil comes from Alaska‚ Texas‚ and the Gulf of Mexico (Energy Information Administration‚ 2008). The United States imports the majority of the oil from foreign countries. Oil is found in many different
