I see they’re hoping for a business friendly president and congress. I think we’ve seen the last of those.

Cuba is drilling like crazy off their waters.IIRC the Chinese are a big factor in that drilling.IMO Cuba + China = the likelihood of huge drilling catastrophes.With that in mind there's really no reason *not* to drill all around Florida as well as off the Georgia coast and the Carolinas.

Atlantic? Heck, there is a lake of oil just off the coast of Santa Barbara.

But the wealthy lefties who live up there don’t want their million dollar views of the Pacific Ocean spoiled with oil rigs.

With our current “leadership,” it’s probably going to cost us over $23.5B and we won’t see anything from that drilling because some foreign country will be doing it with our money.

(Not to sound pessimistic or anything lol)

$23.5B? I think that drilling off New England would help the economy of those states. But then again, except for Maine and New Hampshire (at this time) it will never happen, because of Liberals.

Tell me again why a windmill off the cost is ascetically more pleasing than an oil well?

Interior Department officials insisted private companies should first conduct geophysical research to get a sense of the area’s potential oil and gas resources before the government makes any leasing decisions or schedules sales.

Is it standard procedure to do multiple surveys before any bidding is scheduled?

In assembling that current sale schedule, Interior Department officials insisted private companies should first conduct geophysical research to get a sense of the area’s potential oil and gas resources before the government makes any leasing decisions or schedules sales.

This is like someone saying, “you take the car in,
pay to have it checked out, and if it’s good, we’ll tell you how much we want for it”.

That map looks like a good way to split up the West Coast into four states.
