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.

It's kind of depressing to see countries like Brazil moving ahead with energy exploration in a rational way and realize they're working smarter than we are.

A dream because of the eco nut crowd..Brazil drills where oil and gas are..we see oil and gas deposits and put them off limits for not too well documented benefits to either eco systems or man. They blame Exxon when it's green peace and the leftist econuts who have hurt the American consumer the most..but the public will never get it.

No it's not a dream we're getting there we just should have made it a national focus immediately after 911.

It may very well be the thing that puts the US down to the level of France and Germany withing a decade. The question is WHO will be the next super-power? My bets are China.

It's a shame that we have elected leaders that are taking us down this path. We're giving it away. Worse, we're giving it away to a communist nation!
