Back to my simple mind . . . I work with engineers who would like to hash out data 'til the cows come home. I work with others who jump in and get the job done. We need to $#!% or get off the pot. Drill drill drill!!! The Cubans and Chinese don't seem to have a problem with drilling our oil off Florida.
Bob,

Unless I missread the link, it is not just China. It is India, Venezuela, Brazil... a bunch of countries. But when you throw out, "China is drilling off the coast of Florida to sell us our own oil (Now Run!!! Run for your lives... the Sky is falling.... the communists are attacking!!!)...." it gets all Americans in a huff-a-puff since Cuba and China are sensitive issues.

What they SHOULD have said was, "Cuba has allowed a multitude of foreign countries to drill in their economic exclusion zone for oil. That oil is estimated at 4.6-9.3 billion barrels total, unknown amount recoverable."
