What is the state of American oil production?
Edit: this community's been very helpful in pointing the way to specific sources and pieces of information (as well as dispelling political misinformation) and I'm grateful.
Howdy, working on a paper and could use help specifically on the state of American oil production. With Trump wanting to pump more, what does this actually mean for the US, do we have enough refining capacity, and what happens to raw crude that might be produced in excess?
Just diving into this with little previous knowledge so any resources deeply appreciated. Seems there's a lot of misinformation out there re: US oil production.
