| Huge Oil Field Found off coast of Brazil
Quote:
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — This country, famed for its development of sugar-cane-produced ethanol, soon could become one of the world's great oil powers— if its state-controlled energy company, Petrobras , can tap a potentially massive deposit beneath the South Atlantic Ocean.
Experts believe the deposit, in the Tupi field 180 miles off the southeastern Brazilian coast, holds up to 8 billion barrels of light oil and natural gas. If confirmed, the deposit would be the largest petroleum find in seven years and would propel Brazil to the No. 12 position in oil reserves, after the United States and ahead of Canada and Mexico.
| So thats Brazil producing huge amounts of Ethanol and now Oil..
How long before the US start turning their attention away from the Middle East and towards Brazil?

Much in the same way Scotland is occupied by American forces yes?
Relations between the US and Brazil are quite good by all accounts- America has more resources invested in Brazil then it does in China and Mexico and this oil field is likely to strengthen rather then strain economic ties and relations.
Although Brazil does currently have a left wing government and I'm not sure America is entirely fond of all things left-wing but 'technically' Britain has a left wing government (stiffle your guffaws please) and we get along with America just fine.
America is already alledgedly heavily involved in South American politics viz a ve Venuzuela and Chavez so its likely they will welcome then opportunity to strengthen economic and political relations with Brazil as a means of securing oil resources without having to go to war.

It's not really news that there's lots of oil in South America. The source of Chavez' largesse isn't exactly top secret.
