why are they importing it while chinese ar drilling it in cuba
hmm
The US isn’t Cuba. If we got natural gas from there we would still be importing it.
However, Cuba has little natural gas. If we took 100% of their natural gas production, it would be about 3/10 of one percent of what we already import from other countries.
