As the Deepwater Horizon continues to leak oil at a rapid rate, many people are asking whether we should be drilling in the Gulf of Mexico at all, while others say offshore drilling in the Gulf is a necessary source of oil. To help settle this debate, this is a look at oil around the world, who is producing the most, and what we use it for in this country.

We regret the error and the delay in correcting. We'll update the graphic shortly.</p><p><em>A collaboration between GOOD and <a href="http://www.stanfordkaystudio.com/">Stanford Kay</a>.</em></p><p><a href="http://www.good.is/departments/transparency"></a></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image"><a href="http://www.good.is/departments/transparency">
