#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. |

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

#6 How about dropping ethanol tariffs and importing some from Brazil and placing tariffs on OPEC oil. |

#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. |

#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. |

#3 Sounds like Brasilia first wants to see what Oil-Gas is under Uncle Fidel-Raul's regional rocks. |
