It is crazy they way we are prevented from developing our own resources.

Well, now we can go one better: how do you feel about countries taping that supply while we cannot? What if it's a Communist country, living under a dictatorship? That's just fine with the Communists in the enviromentalism movement. It's all about bashing the U.S.A.

LOL...that's the far-sighted wisdom of Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson coming into play. They ban the US from drilling for oil within 150 mi. from Florida, but Castro will be making money off oil that Florida should be pumping. Castro is much smarter, even in his dotage, than the RINO immigrant and the clueless astronaut are. Floridians should pay a Stupid Voters Tax to the US Treasury for putting these two bozos in office and penalizing the rest of the country.

Tax Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County. They're the culprits who put these bozos in office. The rest of us are hostages to their liberal ilk.

our competitors must just look at us and shake their heads in disbelief that we won't tap our own rich reserves of natural resources, most notably with coal, in ANWR and in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). There's coal in ANWR and the OCS? I guess I need to read up on underwater coal mining procedures for that OCS coal.

Mexico and now Cuba taking oil from the Gulf. Maybe if we are real nice to them, they'll sell us the oil that we could drill ourselves.

[grrrr] what'dya think , ... Hugo is the one behind this scheme , no??
... I hope this gives the administration some impetus
To: BallyBill
We are a nation that is serious trouble and few people seem to grasp the situation. I don't remember, in my 61 years on this earth, things being so convoluted and screwed up as they are today. We can't continue on the path we are on for much longer...

Not only that, whatever Castro does out there will be environmentally unsound and technologically out of date. The chances of a major spill are quite a bit greater. Frankly, I think it would be pretty ironic if Miami beach were inundated with Castros oil.

When the price of gas gets really high Katheren Harris should beat up Nelson over this.

Mexico is drilling offshore but we can't? I wonder what the hell is wrong with the thinking processes in this country.

You'll probably get some heat for your comment, but I agree with you.

It's not just Mel and Bill, Jeb is also against drilling off the Florida coast. They'll bitch and moan over ANWR but won't even think about drilling in their back yard.
To: DoughtyOne; Russ
Why would Russ catch heat for that, it's spot on. The fall of the American Empire is coming quickly. I pray not in my lifetime, or that of my children, but I doubt that will be the case.

Because there are folks out there who haven't got a clue what is going on. They view such comments as defeatist, not realist.

The offshore areas of the United States are estimated to contain significant quantities of resources in yet-to-be-discovered fields. The Minerial Management System (MMS) estimates of oil and gas resources in undiscovered fields on the OCS (2003, mean estimates) total 76 billion barrels of oil and 406.1 trillion cubic feet of gas. These volumes represent about 60 percent of the oil and 41 percent of the natural gas resources estimated to be contained in remaining undiscovered fields in the United States.

It's OK with me if Cubans can get oil from the Gulf of Mexico. Oil is a worldwide commodity--doesn't matter where/who it comes from. If more oil is supplied from any source, the price worldwide will come down.

I am half your age (almost anyway) and I agree with you wholeheartedly. If I did not have my faith and hope in Christ, I would be terrified for my children's future.
