"I agree....the Florida/Cuban waters are a natural shallow water oil reservoir. Easy to reach, easy to drill, easy to get to refineries....."

As per usual... the government is the main impedament.

"Why is Jeb Bush not supporting this? It could provide thousands of jobs for Floridians?"

Why... *Florida politics*, of course.

"We need the oil and it is closer than ANWAR."
