If the United States decided to drill for oil 50 miles off the coast of
China, we would be embroiled in WWIII overnight. Thanks to wacko
environmentalist Congressmen and Senators using the Environmental
Protection Agency [EPA] to stymie drilling along the continental shelf
of the United States, oil that rightfully belongs to American oil
companies is now being drilled by Canada, Spain and Cuba—with help from
both China and India. With only modest energy needs and no drilling
expertise or money, Cuba's government-owned oil cor****ation,
CubaPetroleo—with money and expertise from China's national oil company,
Sinopec—is now "exercising its option" in the Straits of Florida. China,
according to re****ts, is slant drilling. Slant drilling is what oil
companies do when the oil they are trying to tap is on someone else's
property. China will try to tap into reserves on the "American-side" of
the Florida Straits that legally belongs to the United States in a
2-year renewable treaty negotiated with Cuba and signed by
then-President Jimmy Carter in 1977.
