Pelosi has no right to tell companies that they cannot drill in international waters. If she did, why allow China to drill? We have a 3 mile limit and a 12 mile limit. Other than that they have no right to say we can’t drill 50 miles out. What if we wanted to drill 100 miles out, 500 miles out? Would Pelosi still stop the drilling? Pelosi has to go.
I think we have a 200 mile limit as well, which pretty much extends beyond the continental shelf. it’s simply too deep to drill beyond the shelf. The next stop is the mid Atlantic ridge, and the rift is very unstable and risky to drill.
Plus there are probably some kind of UN enviro-wienie international waters ban on drilling there, or the UN cut is too steep for most oil companies. Who knows for sure...
