“I guess Brazil can develop offshore PETROLEUM energy and can get the USA to fund it.”

Yeah,and clean it up afterward. Seem to recall reading somewhere that a huge oil field has recently been discovered off the coast of Brazil. However, as I also recall (too lazy to research)the field resides in a trough about two or three miles down. Now, we are pushing the outer edges of current technology with the attempt to cap the BP well spewing out in the Gulf of Mexico. Just imagine the odd’s of capping an oil well leak two or three miles under the ocean....

Yeah that well off Brazil is pushing the envelope on drilling technology. The pressures and temps etc are off the charts. We will get there but it will take time. The technology today is incredible. BP and the other companies screwed the pooch for a while with sloppy work in the Gulf.

The problem is the Democrats are all agents for the Saudis to stop are domestic energy exploration and production.
