The first discovery of oil in America was in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859. It began yielding 25 barrels a day, by the end of 1859 the flow had slowed to 15 barrels a day. The world would never be the same again. By 1906, American oil production had reached 126 million barrels a year.

Today petroleum constitutes 40% of Americans’ overall energy consumption in the United States, with coal being the other big source of energy.
