Your link doesn't have data for 2012 and again production means the rate of production. Do you think the EIA only makes annual reports or production has to mean annual production? I gave you the right link and all you had to do is switch to monthly:
U.S. Field Production of Crude Oil (Thousand Barrels)
Crude oil production is at an 18 year high, so get use to it. Natural gas production is the highest it's been and the prices are very low.
Obama has been better for the oil and gas industry than Bush was and that's a fact.
Now, consider all the bitching about coal! There are regulations in the future that are going to shutdown some power plants that have bad emissions. A coal fired boiler can be changed to natural gas without that much difficulty. That means we don't have to continue having mercury and arsenic pollution. Have you ever checked how much sulfur some of those power plants emit? The reductions in coal fired power plants have been going on for sometime, but during that time coal production has been at it's historic highs, with minor fluctuation based on exports.
You wingnuts might see a President against the energy industry, but the evidence doesn't show it and since when have you ever gotten something right?
Coal exports seem to be doing fine

It does have the 2012 data, you just have to click on the monthly button, instead of the annual button.
When you compare less than 4 years of production to 8 years of production, what are you discussing? I understood that to mean 4 years of totals versus 8 years of totals.
If you want to change your claim to say we produce more now than we did during Bush's presidency, on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis, you should leave off the word years.
Crude oil production is at an 18 year high, so get use to it.
That's a good thing. It would be higher if he stopped hindering production.
Obama has been better for the oil and gas industry than Bush was and that's a fact.
LOL! How do you figure that?
You wingnuts might see a President against the energy industry
He's only against energy that makes sense, like oil and natural gas. When it come to budget busting subsidies for losers like solar and wind, he's on board!
and since when have you ever gotten something right?
Plenty, starting when I predicted Obama would be as big a failure in DC as he was here in Chicago.
You don't understand anything or you would have the sense to know anything you say is suspect. The monthly figures for crude production end in Oct 2012 and you have to go back to Dec 1993 to find higher production. Natural gas is at record production and coal is near record production and fluctuates with exports. It's been that way even though coal fired electricity production has been declining for a long time.
You wingnuts act like someone not giving away public resources to the rich is against the industries, when he has done more than you clowns.
I've pointed out twice how as we were importing bitumen from Canada with the Keystone Pipeline, we have been exporting gasoline that matches the amount of barrels. That all happened recently with Obama, so the fact is the Keystone Pipeline hasn't lowered our gasoline prices, but it's allowed Texas refineries to export gasoline. Cushing Oklahoma has had an oil glut and the Keystone project to connect it to the Texas refineries was approved. The only pipeline that wasn't approved was that shortcut across the Ogallala Aquifer. If they were so interested in getting their project approved, why didn't they just follow the original pipeline, where they have already used eminent domain to take the land?
I also noticed you didn't say anything about that pipeline crossing ANWR and speaking of ANWR, why is it smart for us to hand over about a trillion and a half dollars of crude oil to the oil companies? If you owned it on your private land, would you hand it over to them?
There is nothing about Obama that makes him appear to be against the fossil fuel industries, except the crap you right-wingers spew. Obama is very pro-business and you right-wingers are delusional. Obama throughs crumbs to the environmentalists and those projects you have complained about are very important for California electricity production, because of the advances in technology. On wind, Obama and Bush are about the same in their approach. The fact is I don't think Obama had much choice in his pro-business stance, because he inherited an economy you right-wingers trashed.
You don't understand anything or you would have the sense to know anything you say is suspect. The monthly figures for crude production end in Oct 2012
Duh, that's why my post of the annual production figures said,
"The first 10 months of 2012, 1,934,093"
The only pipeline that wasn't approved was that shortcut across the Ogallala Aquifer.
Yeah, because all the other pipelines that criss cross the country have polluted how many aquifers? LOL!
speaking of ANWR, why is it smart for us to hand over about a trillion and a half dollars of crude oil to the oil companies?
Hand it over? How about if we sell it to them?
There is nothing about Obama that makes him appear to be against the fossil fuel industries,
Why has he reduced oil production on Federal lands and offshore?
Why does he want to declare CO2 a pollutant? Require CO2 permits?
Is it because he's for fossil fuels? LOL!
Obama is very pro-business
Stop it, you're killing me!
On wind, Obama and Bush are about the same in their approach.
Obama took the wind stupidity and threw a lot more money at it, stupidly.
those projects you have complained about are very important for California electricity production
Yeah, that's what California needs, more expensive, unreliable generating capacity.
