Brazil decided to be energy independant and today, most of their fuel comes from ethanol from sugarcane, biodiesel from soybeans, and the oil that they need comes domestically offshore production.


if the u.s. does like brazil, will we be as busy in the gulf as they are off of their coast?

the most offshore drilling in the world is occuring in Brazil.

Petrobras is surely the leader in deepwater production. Hence why Chouest is building boats here and everyone else we know has Brazilian oufits also.

If I remember my numbers right, I think about 60% of the fuel used in Brazil is from ethanol and it's growing everyday- we currently produce 550,000,000 million tons of cane here and it will grow to 800,000,000 tons in the next years. This is all w/o getting anywhere near the Amazon- there are laws against growing cane in those areas.
