Ted, > Brazil, another country heavily dependent on foreign oil, was moving forward with its program. Today, Brazil is energy independent and a net exporter of oil; the US is more than ever oil dependent.

Brazil claims bragging rights to "renewable energy" mainly via ethanol and "biofuels." As a result, they're tearing up the rainforest and screwing over their own citizens and migrant workers so that they can boost their exports.


When you have your economy humming along nicely and are not dependent on other countries for your economic well being, preserving the rainforest becomes much easier to accomplish.

I suppose if we tank our economy to the size of Brazil's, we too can become a "net exporter of energy."

Really? I can believe what I am reading. You are actively trying to belittle what Brazil has accomplished. My God, that's a new low in pathetic.
