"When you hear objections from the environmental lobby about the risk of exploring deep waters off the Florida coast, you should know that Cuba has licensed foreign firms to develop gas resources in waters as close as 60 miles to the US shore. In years ahead, that Cuba-backed drilling could come as close as 45 miles," he said. "To me, it makes no sense for Venezuelan or Chinese firms to be partnering with their Cuban friends to drill 45 miles off our coast while Florida's US senators want US companies to stay 260 miles off our shores."
Excellent thread.
