SouthAmerica: President Lula of Brazil must be happy right now, since he has been calling for the United States to drop its tariff of $ 54 cents per gallon on imported ethanol.
I am against Brazil exporting ethanol to other countries â ethanol worked well for Brazil, but that is a partial energy solution for Brazil and in my opinion should not be exported to other countries around the world. As a matter of fact Brazil should adopt a high tax on ethanol for the export market to discourage the export of ethanol from Brazil.
The Bush administration in concert with the US mainstream media are calling for the lift on regulations about offshore oil drilling in the coast of the US and they also want to explore for oil all over Alaska.
After the oil shock of the 1970âs a country has to be very DUMB not to do something about its dependency on foreign oil. And after such oil crisis like the one in the 1970âs and such crisis it was not enough to wake up a country such as the US and 30 years later the US is even more dependent than ever on foreign oil â what can I say?
What kind of superpower let itself been caught with its pants down and be so vulnerable to the point that it is laughable?
I understand that the United States is a crisis prone country and that Americans just react when it is too late and a problem has skyrocketed or are ready to explode and at that point Americans overreact and they make bad decisions trying to fix the latest mess.
That has been the global perception for many years of the new American wayâ¦. And today Americans look lost â running around like chickens without a head.
Americans look lost in Iraq, in Afghanistan, during the Katrina crisis, during the sub-prime mess, during the current oil crisis, and the list could go on and onâ¦.
Since the Clinton administration left town in January of 2001, the US has had in the last 8 years the most incompetent group of people running the United States since 1776.
The incompetent Jackasses drum up the US energy policy in the basement of the Whitehouse when Jackass # 2 Dickhead Cheney cooked up some secret deals that became the new energy policy of the US and then they adopted the crap that Cheney cooked up with his pals â these idiots decided to increase the average car mileage in the US by 2 miles per gallon by 2011.
I remember reading the detail of the new energy policy that was being adopted and thinking at the same time what kind of fools and idiots we have running this country.
Anyway, the shit has hit the fan and once more Americans are running around like chickens without a head â and as usual the American mainstream media is missing in action.
I am afraid that reacting as usual on their panic mode Americans might decide to drop the tariff on imported ethanol from Brazil.
In my opinion, that it would be a very bad move resulting in negative economic consequences on both countries.
