"God bless 'em...
Between their oil drilling & ethanol development, America & Americans could learn a lot from Brazil & Brazilians!
Being independent of foreign oil appears to only be an American dream."
No it's not a dream we're getting there we just should have made it a national focus immediately after 911.
"we're getting there"
from your mouth to God's ears!
but with no new refineries in the last 30 years,
no new off shore drilling, no drilling in ANWR and no new nuclear plants being built;
I'm not as optimistic as you. LOL
