Wouldn't it be GREAT to join Brazil within 5 years as a 100% SELF-SUFFICIENT country, when it comes to our energy needs? We'll be able to check ONE BIG ISSUE off the charts, when it comes to solving a major priority for the USA. OIL DEPENDENCE: - Drives prices UP - Supports OPEC nations - Stretches our National interests which we must defend with our military - FUNDS the Sunnis and Shiites via Saudi Arabia and Iran - FUNDS the development of enemy nuclear weapons - Pollutes the environment - Enriches oil companies' profits, rather than our personal prosperity ENERGY INDEPENDENCE: - Keeps TRILLIONS of US dollars here, supporting Americans - Funds FARMERS, not HARMERS (like Hugo Chavez, in Venezuela - tell CITGO to GITGO-in' BACK TO CHAVEZUELA!) - Employs more American workers - Enriches our OWN economy - Reduces eco-risks for ocean-going transport - Funds MORE US-based investment in R & D
