“Just how exactly did Florida get excused from oil drilling?”
Er....a note from home?

Because the GOP can’t win a national election without Florida. Dems have a lock in NY and Cali. Thereby, GOP must carry Texas and Florida to off-set.
I’m no environmentalist but it seems odd that Florida would be a state producing oil. It’s not known for its oil and it’s seasonally unstable and it’s big draw are the lush beaches on the west coast and east coast.
I would hate to see it go big in the oil production business.
South Carolina, Georgia, and California can say the same thing. Should they be excluded as well?
No, they are not the same thing. *phone hangs up*
Given what’s off Florida, it’ll probably never be big business. Good call by Trump.
It’s always a cost/benefit analysis. Which grade oil, how much will it cost to get it, refine it, to sell it where for how much. There’s a time the nation might need whatever the east coast could bring, but it’s not now. If we’re talking nat gas, however, that’s a different kettle of fish.
...Scott jumped in Johnny-come-lately and now he’s claiming all the victory for himself...
Democrats get out maneuvered again.
Um, Mar-a-Lago?
And Drill CA right through Jerry Brown’s head.
Just incase FL ever thinks of becoming a blue state... Trump will have you surrounded by oil rigs and windmills
So what.
Just a little payback for Obama sending the jihadis en masse to every red state in the country. heh

The Gulf is loaded with oil
““Just how exactly did Florida get excused from oil drilling?””
Isn’t Mar A Lago on the Florida coast?
Just sayin.
>The Gulf is loaded with oil
Bingo. Course, most Floridians think their A/C runs off unicorn farts and their hybrids recharge from sunshine. I mean, those YUGE rigs just *FEET* from the shore....
Unfort. Scott’s of the pandering type (P.R., illegals in schools, big $$ in ‘education’). He’s pulled his head out of his ass long enough to go brown nose to D.C., as the story correctly surmises, leading from behind.
IMO, sad to see so many approving of the D.C. centrist philosophy; where’s all the States’ Rights crowd now?
Sorry, the State, along w/ the drillers/scientists/etc. should be making the decision.
Florida’s economy is dependent on tourism. It is also home to the most 1st magnitude fresh water springs in the world. World famous beaches and world class resorts, fishing, hiking and the best rated state park system.
People come here for vacation. Florida doesn’t need oil drilling to sustain its economy.
The supposed States Rights crowd is having orgasms at the thought of screwing California and the west coast, hypocrites.
States rights ends 12 miles off the coast.
