Oil is by far the largest, the US produces about 5 Million barrels each day, while importing twice as much (10.5 Million barrels). The last oil consumption survey found that Americans use about 21 million barrels a day. In 2006, Americans produced 18,491 billion ft^3 of Natural Gas, while consuming 21,860 billion ft^3. As for coal, US produced 1,133 million tons of coal while consuming 1,130 million tons. In short, we consume much more than we produce.
Approximately 19.15 million barrels per day in 2010.
That's where the world provides us with only so much stuff, and eventually we use it up. This will probably happen eventually with fossil fuels (such as oil and natural gas) because we consume them at a much, much faster rate than the earth can produce them.
