Column #3 on Table 6, page 23 is the sum of: proved hydrocarbon reserves (from table #5) + undiscovered hydrocarbon reserves in BOE.

Column 3 of table 6 includes coal. Nobody disputes that including coal the US has the most hydrocarbons.

But the original statement was that the US has the most oil and nat gas. And that is not true and not shown by the document.

edit: hydrocarbons substituted for carbohydrates

Re: "Nobody disputes that including coal the US has the most carbohydrates."

Carbohydrates are what you eat for breakfast.
