I lolled.

Seriously though, it is an interesting piece. I think it is pretty alarmist though.

And CO2 has a lot less effect than methane and water vapor. But that's useless if what you want to stop are cars and industries.

Revolutionizing the future seems kind of vague.

But I more or less agree, except for the coal part. People here in Ohio sit in the unemployment line, while watching as the USA expends trillions overseas in politics and "security" due to oil, while we sit on a huge reserve of coal... and are naturally pretty bitter towards the people who wont let us use it.


Lets really find a way to burn it clean. It is the highest CO2 pollution power generating method.

Also I have to point that Petrobras has a busines plan of investment that is around 224 billions dollars for next 5 years, while 2 billion seems too much, USA loan if is true is less than 1% of total

Quote from PETROBRAS Website
Quote:
The Board of Directors approved the 2010-2014 Business Plan, with total investments of U.S. $ 224 billion, representing an average of U.S. $ 44.8 billion a year.

Based on the economic dynamics and energy, the plan was revised by adjusting the portfolio of projects and the Company's projections. The pillars of integrated growth, profitability and social and environmental responsibility are the basis of the strategies.

The 2010-2014 Business Plan provides for investments of 95% (U.S. $ 212.3 billion) invested in Brazil and 5% (U.S. $ 11.7 billion) overseas, with significant investments placed with the market provider, with a rate totaling 67% local content, which means an annual level of employment in the country about U.S. $ 28.4 billion.

This amount represents an increase of 20% over the previous plan, of which U.S. $ 31.6 billion in new projects, of which 62% dedicated to the Exploration & Production (U.S. $ 19.7 billion). The growth targets for the Company are maintained, including the resources needed for the exploration and development of oil discoveries in the subsalt.

Oil production has the goal of 3.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe) in 2014 and projection of 5.4 million boe in 2020.

about the truthometer..

I did a quick research on news(brazilian)the web for 2 billions


"A U.S(Eximbank, Fred Hochberg). bank will lend U.S. $ 2 billion to Petrobras also hire companies or buy U.S. products."

So like Jet said, is false propaganda against Obama, and the money will be back in form % interest and USA jobs.

What's wrong with getting off foriegn oil RIGHT NOW, by drilling our own plus natural gas and other resources we have. All the while, researching & developing other energy resources, and making new resources more efficient? Can you chew gum and walk at the sametime?


If you want to see the middle east change their tune real quick, come out and tell them we will no longer buy their oil. Explain that we are going to drill our own for now, and work towards other resources. Nasa isn't going anywhere, put their ass to work making Solar,Wind,water,rat wheels... ect more efficient. If they can't do it, NOBODY can.

Mithus, its more the fact this administration is willing to make loans for other countries do the thing WE need to. But the left doesn't like to see people working. We could produce our own oil, there's billions of barrels of oil we can tap. If you add in SHALE oil, you can add nearly a trillion more barrels. We could put thousands to work, and we woulnd't be buying OPEC oil, which is comprised of all middle eastern producing countries. What they do production wise in oil dictates how much we pay at the pump. And it doesn't have to be that way, WE HAVE OUR OWN. Yet our President loans money for others to do it.
