The Chinese don’t have that many offshore drill rigs..so they may have the lease and another company/country doing the exploritory drilling for them. I guess it would be a rig from a country that has trade with cuba.
Somebody from the oil patch must know which rig is drilling.
There aren’t that many of them.
The democrats have a lot of short talking points that need to be discredited. One of them is that drilling will not solve the current problem (i.e., it will take years to bring the oil to market). Republicans have to have a short sound bite to refute that argument (i.e., if we don't start drilling now, then oil will be even higher in the future when this oil could have come on market). Republicans also need to have a short sound bite that explains that renewable energy will not solve the problem now or in the future, despite what the democrats claim and that it is wishful thinking and foolish to abandon a proven source of fossil fuel for the hope that we can make windmills supply our energy sources.
With high gas prices, the republicans should be ripping the democrats a new one on this issue. It is so easy it pains me to see the missed opportunity.
