China, Cuba reported in Gulf oil partnership

[Canuck_Buck]

At a time of rising soaring gasoline prices caused partly by a lack of supply, legislators are fuming that Cuba is opening up its continental shelf for oil and gas exploration while most of the U.S. continental shelf outside the Gulf of Mexico, which extends 200 miles from shore, has been off limits for drilling since the early 1980s, the New York Times reported

Big surprise there , two commie buddies colaborating on enriching themselves while we let the damned tree huggers hold us back . Who'd a thunk it ?

Wouldn't matter if we opened our continental shelf to our oil companies to exploit , they'd just sell the oil on the open market for the going rate . Screw your own as long as you make the maximum dollar for the stockholders . If they do open the shelf this country should get first dibs on the oil , and at a discount since they don't have to tanker it halfway around the friggin' planet . [:@]

India too...I hear ya Kev, kinda got my back up too when I read this...I just had to post this...it's almost insanity...I think wells need to go up and go up fast....they'll suck the ground dry from the whole area, maybe even slant drill...

Yep, not a surprise. We will be paying for it soon.
