The huge amount of oil and gas that will soon be extracted in the US

Planned oil and gas extraction projects in the US with projected carbon emissions greater than one gigaton. Note: Three smaller projects in Alaska not shown

The oil extracted from the Delaware basin, a lobe of the Permian basin, would emit nearly 28 gigatons of carbon dioxide.
