Its Amazing and the Answer isnt in "Energy Saving "
Brazil found oil ? Well it will be for sale to the yanks at high return because
"Brazil generates 43.8 percent of its power from renewable energy sources, including hydroelectricity, ethanol Ethanol and biodiesel are already making significant contributions to the nation's trade surplus, boosting the country's economy and reducing its reliance on foreign oil. "

And Im sure that all of you DR1'ers saw the article on the Biodiesel refining invention (American Inventors) ........
In My Book 1 +1 = 2
For things to change here , the Demand for Oil has to Cease but it won't.
It will decline slightly and gradually and to make up for declining sales, prices will go up to cover costs. Its Simple business 101
Think about it . 2 Oil men in Power, Prices going through the roof after invading Iraq to keep oil prices "down". The poor Oil companies with their highest profits ever , after a year of natural disasters and rising Crude costs !
What more do Americans need order to stand up and impeach this clown ? Get out of your SUV's and 4 car families and do something. Stop complaining about oil prices that the rest of the world has been paying for a few years .......
Its amazing how American Ingenuity and prowness and high moral standards made this country the power that it is but they allow themselves to be snowed by this guy when it is so obvious to the rest of the world. And Imagine, they impeached
Nixon for Moral Standards.?
There, got that off my chest......... In Short, this country should invest in Biodiesel. We have the land, the farming experience and the climate. There are also ways to extend battery life 2 or 3 times the normal that we don't use here so coupled with Biodiesel , solar and wind power we would muddle along just fine and contribute very little pollution to the also declining ozone layer and global warming.........
We keep debating these things. I hope that Oil prices go to 500 A barrel. Then the Other things will become cost effective and necessary. rather than investing in silly projects like Underground Subways here. Invest in Biodiesel, Throw a few hundred thousand Pesos at 500 Farmers and you will have more corn than you can process ! And Profit to boot !
