Meanwhile both China and Cuba plan explorations on that 120 mile limit……the environmentalists vote is not worth condemning the rest of the country to blackmail from foreign oil entities. Those running for POTUS should step up with leadership and courage to tell the world that our agreements in buying oil from those who charge far too much and disrespect human rights, those agreements will cease the day “I” take office and the drilling will commence in ANWAR and along out coasts.
Every day my admiration for China and contempt for the West grows. As evil as their regime has been, one must marvel at their sheer chutzpah. China goes to global conferences and complains about the U.S. not doing enough about climate change, while they build 2 coal-fired power plants per WEEK (none of which would pass the 1970 Clean Air Act, let alone the 1991 version). China ignores every environmental agreement known to man. Greenpeace complains about Chinese fishing practices, but would never dare block a boat in protest, because they know China would sink it without hesitation, while Japan never would. America is crippled by radical environmentalists and, now with Thompson out of the race, every single Presidental candidate is on board supporting the fraud of global warming and the economic suicide of carbon limitations. We won't drill in ANWR, FL, CA, the Arctic or in Western Shale. China is drilling 120 miles off our very coastline. We won't build a single nuclear plant or refinery. China is building hundreds. We are spending ourselves into obvlivion, while surplus-rich China is footing the bill (for now). What the hell is wrong with us?
