My money's on China . .

(Talk about dropping your pants and bending over . .)

==============================

EnCana, a major player in the Piceance Basin of western Colorado, said Chinese labor is cheap and the workers are well-educated.

The move would be scrutinized in Washington, where politicians are uneasy about allowing Chinese workers to acquire access to U.S.-based oil and gas facilities.

I take it you don't understand why we are committing suicide. Ask your Rep., maybe he has a stupid answer for you.

My son works on oil rigs off shore. He is a diver.

Of course we can count on Bayourod and Dane to defend the use of foreign workers and companies, can't we?
Dane and Bayourod might spin their BS about these Chinese drilling crews being better trained, etc.
What they don't know, (or don't care to know) is that:

China's oil output is close to dead last among oil producing nations. From the Rigzone:

Also:
The Chinese oil and gas industry has the worst safety record of any oil producing country, from more deaths to major gas well blowouts.
