primary energy production
last year, a significant increase over recent decades, the
Energy Information Administration
(EIA) said on Tuesday.
Of the record 103 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of total primary energy produced in the U.S., a record 31 quads were exported, the EIA added.
The agency said that nearly all of these exports were fossil fuels, destined for other countries in North America, Europe, or Asia.
In 2024, the U.S. exported 55 per cent of its domestic production of crude oil and natural gas plant liquids (NGPL), around 20 per cent of its dry natural gas output, and approximately 25 per cent of its coal production.

British bounty lure in Kakori Action was more than ‘loot' amount itself
Lucknow: The Kakori Action in 1925 was about looting about Rs 4,601 from the 8 Down train. But the worth of this incident was way more. The then administration announced a bounty of Rs 5,000 to anyone who helped nab the doers. An advertisement was published by the then authorities in the local papers. One such ad in the local daily called Hamdam dated Aug 27, 1925, lured people to give information on the executors and earn Rs 5,000. "The advertisement stated that those giving information about them would have the chance to win a prize money of Rs 5,000. It also shared details of the currency notes which were looted by the revolutionaries and promised to give adequate reward for those giving any information on the currency notes," said Shah Alam, a collector of historical documents. The advertisement was also included in contemporary novels based on the incident. An Urdu novel titled 'Kakori Dakaiti' by Maulana Hasrat Maulvi Fazil Lakhnawi in 1926 is a case in point. A Hindi translation of the book has been brought out by the Kanpur Itihaas Samiti recently. "It is well known that there was excessive govt control on the press and media under British rule. Maybe that is why writers used the garb of fiction to present facts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rinding: 500+ Free Arduino Projects CircuitDigest Learn More Undo When we compared the book with official documents, we could sense that facts of the incident were weaved in a fictional plot," said samiti general secretary Anup Shukla. Mentioning that he along with Prakhar Srivastava undertook the translation work, Shukla said: "Those who can read the original must do so as often translations cannot to full justice to the primary thought." He also found several elements interesting. "The author introduced the revolutionaries as 'aman pasand' (peace-loving). He was probably a teacher who took to writing down the book. This compels me to believe that the incident must have left a deep impression on people's minds," he said. Alam said the advertisement speaks of the desperation. "The fact that the bounty for giving any information on the revolutionaries was more than the total amount looted indicates that the British administration had taken the blow as a challenge," he said. Kakori loot amount values Rs 26.2 lakh today Assessments indicate that the value of Rs 4,601 (USD 1,667.03 in 1925) taken away by the revolutionaries on Aug 9, 1925, has grown manyfold in the past 100 years. When converted using the dollar exchange rate method and adjusted for US inflation to 2025, the amount comes to around Rs 26 lakh. Experts believe that the amount was big enough to digress a weak-willed soul from the nationalist path and take them on the road to betrayal. Eventually currency notes proved to be a crucial link that put British investigating officer RA Horton on a money trail which ended with the first arrest two months later. Newspapers called Kakori Action 'serious' and 'sensational' While local newspapers reported the Kakori Train action on Aug 10, news on the incident was taken in English papers one or two days later. The unmissable dare-devilry was, however, given its due prominence. The Leader — English daily founded by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya published from Allahabad (now Prayagraj) — pulled the report released by news agency Associated Press. The report — titled as 'A Serious Railway Dacoity' — presented finer details of the event such as the time of the event and described the scene but pegged the total loss due to the incident to Rs 10,000. An Indian daily used the slug 'Amazing outrage' in a report titled 'Lucknow Train Hold-up — Masked bandits — Passenger Shot Dead'. The intro read: "A sensational report of a raid of a train by armed and masked bandits comes from Kakori, a station on the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway — eight miles from Lucknow. While part of a well organised gang of 20 stopped the train by pulling the communication cord and robbed the guard's van of chest containing Rs 2,000, others armed with revolvers boarded the train keeping watch over the passenger compartments. A passenger who offered resistance was shot dead and a European and an Indian were wounded. All members of the gang escaped."

At 75, Srikakulam aims to take the big leap to turn challenges into opportunities
1 2 Visakhapatnam: Srikakulam will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Aug 15, marking its official formation on the same date in 1950, when it was carved out of Visakhapatnam district. Historically, the region was part of the Northern Circars, the first territories to come under British control in 1765 through a 'farman' issued by the Mughal emperor and later ratified by the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1768. Guntur, however, came under British control later, in 1788. The Northern Circars roughly comprised the combined districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur. In 1802, these Circars were divided into five districts — Ganjam, Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry, Masulipatnam (Machilipatnam), and Guntur. The Chicacole (Srikakulam) area, originally part of Visakhapatnam district, was included in Ganjam when it was formed. However, when Orissa (now Odisha) was created in 1936, Ganjam was transferred to Orissa, and Chicacole division was remerged with Visakhapatnam district. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo This laid the groundwork for its eventual bifurcation in 1950, leading to the formation of Srikakulam as a separate district. Even 75 years after its formation, Srikakulam, one of the least developed districts in Andhra Pradesh, continues to lag behind on key socio-economic indicators. According to the 2011 census, the literacy rate in Srikakulam stood at 61.7%, below the state average of over 67%. Similarly, urbanisation has driven economic growth across the state, with urban population rising from 24.13% in 2001 to 29.47% in 2011. Visakhapatnam leads with 47.45% urban residents, followed by Krishna at 40.81%, while Srikakulam (16.16%) remain the least urbanised district. Before the bifurcation of the erstwhile 13 combined districts into 26, Srikakulam's per capita income stood at Rs 1.45 lakh, ranking 12th among those 13 districts and significantly below the state average of Rs 1.92 lakh. The district also faces a health crisis, with high rates of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) affecting thousands in the Uddanam region. Another example is that Visakhapatnam district contributed approximately Rs 1.19 lakh crore, or 9.15% of Andhra Pradesh's total gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022-23, securing the top position among all districts. In contrast, Srikakulam ranked 20th among the 26 districts. The district's lack of diversification into non-agricultural sectors, particularly services and manufacturing and under-industrialisation exacerbate its economic stagnation. Srikakulam contributes a mere 2.2% to the state's industrial gross value added, and its share in the services sector remains negligible at just 3%. The three-day celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of Srikakulam started on Aug 13 across the district. Srikakulam collector Swapnil Dinkar Pundkar said he has invited industrialists to invest in the region, assuring full support, including land allocation through APIIC and access to govt buildings. "With our 193-kilometre coastline and upcoming infrastructure projects such as the Bhogapuram airport and the six-lane corridor, the district offers ample opportunities for industrial development. I urge entrepreneurs to utilise govt schemes and focus on value-added products like cashew, mango, jackfruit, and aquaculture. Both govt and private lands will be made available as required to foster employment and growth," said Pundkar. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
