Brazil became energy independent

Brazil is repeating the same success with Biodiesel that it had with Ethanol 30 years ago.
All the efforts made now pays off. What many industrialized country has failed Brazil has accomplished this year, it became energy independent.

That means Brazil no longer needs to import energy from other country to supply its necessity. On the other hand Brazil is becoming a Global Exporter since its production is large.

Brazilian drivers are used to being able to use whichever fuel they want, currently the drivers has at least 4 types of fuel to choose from » gasoline, diesel, ethanol and natural gas.

Many of the cars produced recently can use two types of fuel at the same type also known as “hybrid vehicles”. In big cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro many drivers are adding natural gas tank to their cars to save money.

    I think US should try to become energy independent too. The country is rich enough to do that, but the politicians prefer spend all our money in the war instead of in the benefits for the population.
