Uh, US consumption was just as flat (probably more so) over the same period of time.

>> Think biofuel.

While it is true that biofuel DID play a role, the reality is that Brazil's problem was solved by drilling offshore. Period, end of story.

>> .so Brazil's oil bonanza is a relatively recent event.

Nevertheless, it was a bonanza.

You're dead wrong in your argument here. Brazil's energy independence is a result of drilling & development and without it they would NOT have become energy independent.

Their baseline requirements are nowhere near what ours are. If you consumed our entire sugar and corn crops with biofuels you couldn't reach the 20% level they are at.

It just really isn't a very valid comparision.
