"Rome was not build in a day." The country getting richer could mean less poverty in the country, which is one of the things many countries have, poverty. <br /><br />This is a big project and I don't think that Brazil will have the necessary power to take advantage of this great discovery. Who will help Brazil, is up to them to decide. This is a chance for Brazil to make it into the "major leagues of oil-producing nations," Brazil will make sure that their decisions are the best.Xochitlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821435396241215887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800828841873738105.post-9439570254414756252009-10-04T17:57:09.439-05:002009-10-04T17:57:09.439-05:00I believe that not only will Brazil benefit greatl...I believe that not only will Brazil benefit greatly from this drilling, but also the US once production of Brazil's oil is underway. I think that the US will have great interest and may even invest money into the drilling company to assist them and push for the advancement of this find, even if it interferes with President Obama's opposition to any expansion in oil drilling off of American shores.<br /><br />However, I do not expect the money gained (if any) for Brazil from this project to aid much in the attempt to make Rio a better home for the 2016 games because I predict this project still being in its early stages in the years before the games when improvements to the city start.<br /><br />This is a great investment opportunity, as drilling will not only stimulate Brazil's economy by offering jobs and such, but by allowing the US better ties socially to a possible source of energy if we decide to invest.Orbi Dayrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695275197528856721noreply@blogger.com
