Flex fuel vehicles reduce foreign oil dependency in Brazil

If there is any doubt as to the incompetence of the American Congress, Brazil's handling of its foreign oil dependency puts the matter to rest. When the '73 oil embargo created gas lines in the U.S., the crisis was even worse in Brazil, which imported 80% of its oil. Today, Brazil is almost free of foreign oil dependency, the U.S. is more dependent than ever. Brazil uses 40% ethanol, the U.S. uses 3%. (More from the LATimes)

Who exactly does Congress represent? I guess recent reports demonstrating that the gap between rich and poor has grown far wider pretty much sums that one up. I say we fire them all!
