#4 Brazil is pretty smart. As Iran has influence withing OPEC, Iran would then gain some amount of influence over Brazil's oil production if Brazil joined. Maybe Brazil could form a new organization ... NOPEC ... that includes the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, maybe Indonesia and China. That would be a hoot.

#5 We need a petroleum buyers organization. It could be used to counter OPEC and stockpile vast amounts of reserves to be used when OPEC was out of line.

#7 We need an oil import tariff to keep the price above $100 per barrel.

#8 I think an oil price of $40-50 is desired. CTL should be cost $40-50/barrel to make, but the (already refined, clean) products will sell for more than crude oil.
