Quick question, what's the answer if we shouldn't drill for oil or drill for natural gas?

Seriously, wind, solar, battery needs petroleum to create the products. Hydro has its risks also... Batteries are toxic...

Just askin.

It's not as easy as it appears.

The right wing talks as if the drilling moratorium cut back on US oil production.

This is a lie. I just don't understand the disconnect with reality ?

Oil production is on the rise since Obama came to the WH.

I agree. Not only that, but these are INTERNATIONAL waters. If WE don't drill there someone else will. I know our systems and standards have problems, but do you really think that China, Venezuela, etc. have better drilling techniques and safety measures? I know I don't...

The bottom line is that SOMEONE is going to drill for oil there. You know how we know?... It's PROFITABLE. I would rather we do it than some 3rd world country.

If you are talking about where Cuba is going to drill in the Gulf , then you afre wrong , the drilling will happen in Cuban waters.

If WE don't drill there someone else will. I know our systems and standards have problems, but do you really think that China, Venezuela, etc. have better drilling techniques and safety measures? I know I don't...
Again , I think the company is spanish , not from china

Invade Cuba to drill there ? ... i don't think so.
