DOE International Energy Information

The Department of Energy has a site so good it almost makes you forget it's corporate welfare. All the energy stats you could wish, for countries worldwide: oil, gas, coal, electricty, etc. Plus country briefings covering politics and the economy -- brief, but more hard-hitting than most government pubs -- as well as excruciating detail on who's doing what and where in exploration and production. These are updated regularly but also based on who's in the news. Thanks to Jeff Wolf for the tip.
