<p>[quote user="StillGrande"] </p><p>Brazil is now self sufficient in enegy. Last year they exported 600,000 barrels of ethanol to the US. They expect to increase this to 2.1 million barrels this year. [/quote]</p><p>I think there is a bit of a misperception being generally put forth in the celebration of Brazil's so-called energy self sufficiency. I have heard that Brazil has recently installed the world's largest offshore oil drilling platform with the capacity to provide the country with 100% of of its energy needs from oil. Others may refute or varify this. They may be a pioneer in sugar cane ethanol, but they are not self sufficient with it. </p>
