I do not understand what you are saying.
The Dems say ANY offshore drilling is 10 or 20 years away from production
Using your own logic, why couldn’t we get production on rapidly in an area like Offshore California where the industry has had much more than 15 years of experience?
Your 3 year measurement to production is starting from about year 7 in the process. There was a lot of work and time to get to the point where this field was announced.
