"On one side there are those
who maintain that private com-
panies such as Mobil and Exxon
should finish the exploration of any
hydrocarbons found.
On the other
side are those who maintain it is
the Puerto Rican people who
should control the exploration and
exploitation of such resources.
What is at stake in this whole
discussion?"

Interesting read.
If anyone cares to discuss or dig for more on this issue, thanks.

IS THIS WHY trump WON'T HELP PUERTO RICO?
With him, I've learned he is an oppurtunist & ruthless in achieving money & power for himself & his allies, Putin & in this case rEXXON Tillerson.

Trump's selection to power was & always will be about Oil & money & power.

Like the vultures they are, the devastation in Puerto Rico & surrounding islands is ripe for the picking in the matter of Oil drilling.
This is key as we all wonder why he is weak on assistance to these people.

The Puerto Rican people wanted to decide how oil is developed & they wanted to keep the resources & $$ for their people & island development.

Mobile Exxon & others wanted it for themselves.
This devastation weakens the govt, the people's voice in this matter & opens the door for global oil vultures to step in.
They must be positively giddy!

Here's the most recent report from Dec 2017.
