Drilling off Fla Keys to begin by December

A giant, semi-submersible oil rig en route from Singapore will probably be drilling in the Florida Straits between Key West and Cuba in mid-December. Don’t get excited, this is a joint venture between Spain’s Repsol and Cuba. Obama’s EPA still has a “moratorium” on Americans drilling in anything besides teeth. We’ve reached the point where Cuba will be busily drilling for offshore oil while the US “invests” in ridiculous “green energy” companies that go bankrupt after a year. Which is the country being run by Marxist idiots again?

  • I live on the Florida Gulf Coast. It really pisses me off that we can't drill for oil there because Omoron won't let us, but he GAVE BRAZIL MILLIONS TO DRILL OFFSHORE! Now Cuba and China are drilling for OUR OIL OFF OUR COAST!!!
    If we don't get rid of this idiot fast and start drilling, we'll be at the mercy of every tiny shithole (Cuba, Venezuela, etc) before we know it!

  • I disagree. The best way to start a revolution is to push gas over $4 per gallon...when we KNOW that this shit is going on right off our shores.

  • Obama might be smarter than he acts, best way to push green ($) jobs is to get gas four dollars and beyond.
