Oil trove a tough recovery

Denver Post- October 10, 2008
Brazil becoming an oil superpower exporter is so much more likely than being a country full of wealth from oil exploration. Every OPEC country is full of corruption and extreme poverty and wealth. Saudi Arabia, the largest exporter, is still an under-developed country that lacks many amenities that one would expect for a county so rich in a resource. It is an interesting prospect for Brazil's economy but they face many challenges in retrieving the oil. It would be great if our government would allow off shore drilling to help supplement our oil necessities. It also seems to me that Brazil is preparing for a war over their oil field, which is a scary thought.
