California produces more than Alaska? Waow. I knew things were warming up in Kern County, but I had no idea of the degree. It looks like Alaskan production has dropped considerably.

Thackney, is that because of Palin's screwy royalty (tax) scheme or is Prudhoe Bay slowing down?

Both Alaska and California have had declining oil production for many years. Alaska has been falling faster.

California has just slightly raised their falling rate lately.
