More insanity by our government.

Meanwhile EPA regulations are forcing oil companies to throw in the towel.

Energy In America: EPA Rules Force Shell To Abandon Oil Drilling Plans | Fox News

Oh and don't forget Obama's push to funnel money to his "green" buddies. Lefties howl on and on about big oil in the pockets of folks but when "big green" is in the pocket of Obama they just turn the other way and scream Bush.

Even if we did drill for our own oil, I believe we'd first have to sell it on the open market before we can refine it for ourselves, which would mean we wouldn't own 100% of our reserves. Of course, someone can clarify me on that in case I am wrong.

It puts people to work not to the unemployment lines. Every little bit of regulations and now all these new fee's proposed in this new "jobs bill" Obama put out is draining everyone dry.

It is time for US to drop its embargo with Cuba that was set during Cold War.
Alot of countries excluding any US companies are taking advantage of this oil.

This oil is being drilled deeper than the Deep Water Drill that ruptured last year.
So if there was any oil spill due to this useless embargo the country with best technology will not be able to prevent the oil that is spilled 90 miles off Florida coast from reaching it.

Obama's energy plan is total energy insecurity when it comes to oil. There is no doubt that this POTUS is a manchurian candidate out to destroy this country. That's right, I said it, he is out to damage this country beyond repair through his regulations to bypass Congress.

You realize that everything that happens in Cuba is "off Florida shores", right?

How dare those Cubans drill on Cuban Oil fields. Don't they know, all things Oil belong to the Kochs.

No problem, so long as you remember the motto: you break it, you bought it.

Why put peple to work in the oil field when they can always work in the high paying fields of retail clerk and food service?
