Cuba says it will begin drilling five oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico this summer (2011) in hopes of locating enough crude to justify the costly exploration.
Too much irony here. Just some thoughts (all tongue in cheek):
- 5: the number of wells Cuba plans to drill this summer.
- 6: the number of permits SecInt Salazar has issued for the Gulf since the moratorium.
- What if the Cuban pools communicate with pools inside American jurisdiction? Oh, well.
- Will Cuba use the new Salazar-safety standards? Unlikely. Lost in translation.
- If there's a Cuban oil well spill, do the oil slicks flow back to Cuba or up to Florida?
- Will the President fly down to Cuba, like he did to Brazil, and promise assistance in drilling for oil?
- Will BP move to Cuban off-shore if unable to get US permits?
Just saying.
Do you know what the word irony means?
