Yes today may be black Friday for offshore oil drilling in Belize, but there are many things us Belizeans are not thinking about. You all want to have cars and trucks, but you all refuse to try and make your own gas? We should also be thinking about limiting he amount of motor vehicles that comes into Belize everyday. A lot of the PUP supporters are also against the said oil drilling, but if they were in power they would have already drilled the wells on the offshore lines. Before you all jumping up and down about oil drilling, start consider how much fuel you all use on a daily basis and also consider the amount of motor vehicles in the country and not to mention the price we pay for gasoline today.
