CHINA STARTS OIL DRILLING OFF FLORIDA

WHILE AMERICA TWIDDLES THUMBS, CHINESE TAP BILLIONS OF BARRELS

By Mike Blair

While Washington dithers over exploiting oil and gas reserves off the coast of Florida, China has seized the opportunity to gobble up these deposits, which run throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and along the U.S. Gulf coast.

The Chinese have forged a deal with Cuban leader Fidel Castro to explore and tap into massive oil reserves almost within sight of Key West, Florida. At the same time, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who controls the largest oil reserves in the Western Hemisphere, is making deals to sell his country’s oil to China, oil that is currently coming to the United States.

Meanwhile, a new left-wing populist regime in Bolivia has nationalized the natural gas industry, threatening to cut off supplies to the United States.

SLANT DRILLING

There are new reports out circulating that Chinese firms are planning to slant drill off the Cuban coast near the Florida Straits, tapping into U.S. oil reserves that are estimated at 4.6 billion to 9.3 billion barrels. This compares with 4 billion to 10 billion barrels believed to be beneath the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, where drilling is held up in Congress due to the objections of environmental groups which warn of endangering caribou. Permission to drill in the refuge, which experts are certain will not present any environmental hazard, has failed by just two votes in the Senate.

As Chinese business increases its reach around the world, it is seeking oil, which it lacks domestically.

They don't want to see oil rigs off of their coasts. They prefer to use the oil which comes from the oil rigs off of the Louisiana coasts. Seriously, if states are unwilling to tap their own resources, they should not be allowed to use other states' resources.

Every barrel of oil the Chinese drill and use is a barrel of oil they won't need to buy off the open market. Demand competition from the Chinese has been one of the biggest reasons behind the recent increase in petrol prices. Every barrel that anyone drills and adds to the worldwide supply will help alleviate the problem. It doesn't matter who drills and where - it all becomes part of the same supply pool and subject to the same market forces.

Oh, but it's so much more fun to label it lay the blame at someone's door. Blame for what is irrelevant.

If they are drilling in international waters or even in Cuba's, its not actually ours. So why do we care exactly?

Indeed. It doesn't figure into my definition of theft. To "steal" something you have to own it in the first place.

LOL...

Just like the liberals in power right now...

Someone just say it already... get the nukes out c'mon and kill all these commie rascals!!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Well if one group of people are to blame for "stealin' our jobs", its not much of leap to blame another group of fokls for "stealin' our oil".

Manifest Destiny for some now extends beyond our legal borders. Sounds like some arcane Dr. Evil plot for world domination, piloted by all those darn liberals in power right now!!

Hmmmm a giant laser... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Maybe they can retrofit Navy dolphins with lasers to take out these commie oil rigs or better yet, as Dr. Evil said:

I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
