to Octavio

Octavio, do you think it is as simple as the oil, or do you think there is more to this appeasement of Muslims by Europe? Because if it is only oil, surely alternative energy could be found. We are working in the US right now on hydrogen technology for cars, ethanol, etc. We should have done this 30 years ago, but the car manufacturers didn't want to do it, and the oil companies didn't want it either. So here we are. Still, I think there has got to be more to it for Europe than the oil. Did you know that Brazil runs their cars on ethanol now? If they can do it, why can't we?
