I was really glad I found this article...! Watching CNN last night I saw the small bottom lines news saying that Brazil was invited to join Opec and refused!... I'm living in U.S. for 6 years and the only thing I can think about looking back is that brazilians especially have this 'cultural thing' of complaining 'no matter what' and cannot see or think outside the bubble... And don't get me wrong, I use to be the same way. Altough I think Brazil needs improvement in many segments of the economy and society, especially on the abyss between the rich and poor, Brazil and its government are making the right decisions in many areas. Internal development of resources is the key for the future, be self-sustainable, even if the prices are higher them the rest of the world, even if that is not 'enough oil' to join the prostituted organization "OPEC", it tells the rest of the world that the Brazilian leaders are not so stupid... If you ever had the chance that I'm having, to watch the super-powered U.S.A. failing in inumerous bad choices in the globalized economic world as now, you would change your mind about free-trade and 'expansion of the economy over-seas', where U.S. is shipping technology and resources, to enrich another ex-Comunist, actually Socialist nation (China) and totally leaving behind its entire middle class hard workers asking themselves what to do now... Its a collapsed society... In many ways... Economy, values, future... Americans are hoping for the best, but who will really work for it?!... And so, Brazil the way I see it, from 'outside the bubble' have many different opportunities if headed in the right direction... And man!, so far so good... Lula did not sell his soul to China, like they tried so many times to buy it... And yes, everything is expensive... What is the real problem with that?!... That is the way things should be... Accept to buy and make everything so cheap in China, buy oil from Middle Easterns instead invest in your own technologies and resources and them you can finally if you wish, call the 3rd world in development south american Brazil a clone of United States of America... - Katia Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:11:02 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3669 aternative fuel is the way of the future oil will not last forever and for you dom ass if ethanol is a bad idea y does the us whant to use it.

When Brasil become biggest member of OPEC, the government have huge herds of pigs with wings that will fly over Brazil and crap on everybody\'s lawns and soil enriching the soil. Don\'t worry. Just trust and believe. - Guest Mon, 05 Jun 2006 05:31:35 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3679 Speaking about the politicians only. - Guest Mon, 05 Jun 2006 05:27:45 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3493 Ethanol production robs the soil of its fertility and gives nothing back. The only way to keep soil, that has been used in the production of ethanol for too many years, is to pump tons of oil-based fertilizer back into or it will grow nothing, because it is probably ruined. Ethanol looks good for the short term, but is destructive over time. Morons. - Guest Mon, 05 Jun 2006 05:26:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3525 Not so! Ethanol has an important future. As oil prices rise and supply becomes constrained, ethanol will become in growing demand for some current oil uses - eg motor cars. IMHO ethanol is the fuel for medium term use and has the best economics of the new fuels being debated today. - Guest Mon, 05 Jun 2006 03:26:56 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3585 Somebody please tell Lula the clown that he has do find wayyyyyy more oil to be able to join OPEC and that ethanol is a hoax.Ethanol has no future as an energy source because it makes no sence and it will never make any sence to use soil to get energy instead of food. Four more years of Lula the clown in power...God help Brazil. - Guest Sun, 04 Jun 2006 18:17:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3672 quote: \"\"Brazil in the 21st century will become the world\'s greatest energy power\" said Lula adding that Petrobras has an ambitious domestic and overseas exploration program. \" Not only is he illiterate, he\'s delusional! And if he plans on exporting oil, he better plan on selling it a helluva lot cheaper than he is to his own citizens!!! Which is now at 5 DOLLARS per gallon! Swear, just have to sit and shake your head...makes you understand although why brazil is the way it is, these politicians absolutely have no grip on reality. - Guest Sun, 04 Jun 2006 11:58:23 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3671 What\'s that??? I can already feel the pigs flying out of my ass! - Guest Sun, 04 Jun 2006 11:21:17 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6563/1/#pc_3673 ...10 millions new jobs during his first mandate !
