You gotta be kidding me? This is what makes your little heart go pitter patter? 2010 yet ! You need something of real substance son / daughter.

Eh?

Brazil... Population: 196 million. Uses about 2.5 billion barrels a day of oil
United States: 310 billion. Uses about 18.5 billion barrels a day of oil

Now... that's just quick numbers. It could very well be true that Bill Maher was "owned" as it were. But just saying it and looking at the general numbers suggests that whatever Brazil is doing is... Working. o.0

 

[beretta304]

Shows he was ignorant then and in 2 years he hasn't learned a thing...just like those of you criticizing it over the date.

Brazil's Road to Energy Independence

By Monte Reel

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Record oil prices have made the world's energy landscape a darkly foreboding place this year, inhospitable to optimism and celebration. Except in Brazil.

The Cutting Edge News

The first country, surprisingly enough, is Iran. The Islamic republic has lots of crude but little capacity to refine it, leaving Tehran heavily dependent on gasoline imports. The country's blustery president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is fully aware that this is Iran's Achilles' heel and worries that a comprehensive gasoline embargo could cause enough social unrest to undermine his regime.

So Ahmadinejad has launched an energy-independence program designed to shift Iran's transportation system from gasoline to natural gas, which Iran has plenty of. "If we can change our automobiles' fuel from gasoline to [natural] gas during the next three-four years," he said last July, "we won't need gasoline anymore." His plan includes a mandate for domestic automakers to make "dual-fuel" cars that can run on both gasoline and natural gas, a crash program to convert used vehicles to run on natural gas and a program to convert Iranian gas stations to serve both kinds of fuel. According to the International Association of Natural Gas Vehicles, more than 100 conversion centers have been built throughout the country: Iranians can drive in with their gasoline-only cars, pay a subsidized fee equivalent to $50 and collect their newly dual-fuelled cars several hours later. Ahmadinejad's plan, which has been largely ignored by the West, means that within five years or so, Iran could be virtually immune to international sanctions.

While Iran is moving quickly toward energy independence, Brazil is already there. It's a striking turnaround; three decades ago, the country imported 80 percent of its oil supply. But since the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the Brazilians have invested massively in their sugar-based ethanol industry and created a fleet of vehicles that can run on the resulting fuel. According to the Sugar Cane Industry Union (Unica), 90 percent of the new cars sold this year in Brazil will be flexible-fuel vehicles that cost an extra $100 to make but can run on any combination of gasoline and ethanol.

all those figures should be millions, not billions. But yes - Brazil is doing a lot of things right. Their politicians put the country ahead of their individual parties, and they do not deny science.

Brazil is the world's second largest producer of ethanol fuel, and until 2010, the world's largest exporter. Together, Brazil and the United States lead the industrial production of ethanol fuel, accounting together for 87.8 percent of the world's production in 2010,[1][2] and 87.1 percent in 2011.[3] In 2011 Brazil produced 21.1 billion liters (5.57 billion U.S. liquid gallons), representing 24.9 percent of the world's total ethanol used as fuel.[3]

Brazil is considered to have the world's first sustainable biofuels economy and the biofuel industry leader,[4][5][6][7] a policy model for other countries; and its sugarcane ethanol "the most successful alternative fuel to date."[

As opposed to what the people from the left posting things about Romney from 50 year's ago? Compared to that two year's is nothing.

How can you defend someone who says "Brazil got OFF oil" and then give a stat that shows Brazil is using 2.5 BILLION barrels per DAY?

Do people on this board have the slightest concept of what a billion is? Do you know that very few people will live 2 billion SECONDS in their entire life? You would have to reach 90 years of age to reach 2.8 billion SECONDS in a lifetime.

If you're utilizing 2.5 billion barrels of oil per day, you are consuming an obnoxious amount of oil and are about 4.6 million years from being "OFF of oil". You're not even in the ballpark of oil independence, and it's a stupid fucking comment for anyone to claim they are or that they are even "headed in the right direction".

Finally, Brazil (like all of South America) is essentially a 3rd world country shit-hole in which many in the population can't even afford an automobile. So many use motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles to get around. Which of course drastically cuts down on oil, but is far from a "success" story. Only the idiot liberal dumbocrat would consider poverty resulting in less oil sales a "success".

Another example of the idiot liberal dumbocrat at their absolute dumbest.

On one hand, the idiot liberal dumbocrat cries a river for the "hungry". On the other hand, the idiot liberal dumbocrat burns the world's food supply to "save" the Earth.

God, these people are so fucking ignorant, it's actually painful to just hear them spew their stupidity. I actually feel physical pain listening to people so fucking stupid, that they burn the world's food supply while crying about people being hungry.

Ethanol fuel in Brazil

"I buy gasoline only if I can't get anything else," said Alexandre Rigueirra, 28, a Sao Paulo taxi driver who modified his flex-fuel Chevrolet to also use natural gas, which is sold at many locations throughout the country. "Gasoline is always the last option."

Of course Beretta thanked you, but the fact remains that Maher was NOT "owned." Contradicting that truncated clip from 2010, as evidence of the previous 5+years shows. Context matters, hell, FACTS matter.

At least they're using sugar cane (not a requirement in any diet, and damaging to many) instead of FEED GRAIN like we are, making it more expensive to feed every type of livestock, and for that livestock to be more expensive to the consumer.

Better if everyone switched to using hemp for ethanol. Less turnaround time between crops, and MUCH lower ecologic impact in processing.

But hell, we couldn't admit Hearst was a racist, or that the followers of Ayn Rand were closet trade protectionists.

I love how these Environmental libs talk about oil when they are in HUGE mansions drive around in limousines and take private planes. The biggest one AL Gore who is making tons of money off this shit and his house is far from GREEN
