Cuba and China are gearing up to drill for oil about forty-five miles off of Florida. It's particularly ironic when the world's last true believer in communism has a more sound energy policy than the US. Needless to say, I can hardly wait for the Democrats to advocate the lifting of the embargo on Cuba so that we can buy oil from them. The self-same oil that we ourselves have elected not to drill for.
There is help, perhaps, on the way. The "No Excuses" energy bill, introduced before Memorial Day is getting a big push to be voted out of conference and to the floor of the House of Reps. by Congressman Wahlberg of Michigan. It advocates not only drilling but nuclear and alternative energy as well. The congressman is basically tired of the Democratic leadership tying the bill up in committee so that nothing will be done and wants it out on the floor for the full House to debate. Details below.

The second link makes a note of Nancy Pelosi's comments on what the Dem's have done to alleviate our energy problems. She cites their authorizing the Justice Department to have the power to sue OPEC, an action that I'm sure has Riyadh, Tehran, and Dubai just paralyzed with fear.
