Reviewing an old thread that I did and then seeing this story really made me wonder about the original thread. The old thread is here:
Petrobras oil findings stolen

news.yahoo.com
(visit the link for the full news article)

Who really did steal these findings? Did we ever hear the answer? Now knowing that this huge oil field is out there and in light of the recent activity happening between the US and South America, one really has to wonder what is going on.
On the peak oil topic.....all this talk of peak oil yet Brazil keeps finding more and more oil fields....Tupi....Jupiter...and now this one. This is all just a bit too coincidental for me.

With all the oil-thirsty tyrants around in the world, I just don't know if it's all good for a "third world country" to make such an announcement...

can't say it's all bad, though..

Let's hope this do some good to the world in the long run.


Peace


EDIT to add:

And Palehorse, I did translate that article that stated the theft was not about espionage.
Here it is.

Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard any update about that. Appreciate the heads up.

Just heard about this on CNBC today. the stock has yet to react though because "More exploration is needed."

They say at least 5 years before we could see any benefit from it too.

Not a problem, I'm glad I could help.


elevatedone,

who's the "we" you're talking about? Because I wouldn't see myself as a beneficiary from this ever. lol

Peace

We cant burn that oil too. We need tog et off the oil. Think about the earth and the atmosphere. Think about us spewing 70 million tons of co2 into the atmosphere each day, and the ocean absorbing 25 million tons of it each day. It's increasing the acidity of our oceans which are making it hard for the creature of the sea including coral and plankton, starfish, shellfish. If the plankton find it hard to build their shells and they start dying off, then the whole oceans pretty much destroyed.

We need to get off oil and into freee energy! or hydrogen or something clean.

Apparently the Brazil fields are the largest fields yet found:

First off there is no such thing as free energy,you still have to pay for the infrastructure,maintenance etc etc.Until someone can come up with a way to provide us with energy which is reliable and in sufficient amounts, fossil fuels are here to stay regardless of what you think of them.Imo though nuclear is the way forward and we should focus on that.
