Brazil working hard for “energy independence”

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva inaugurated Saturday the lay out of a gas pipeline that will connect the southeast with the northeast of the country, in another step to ensure energy independence.

“This gas pipeline is the answer. We do not want to be dependent either on Bolivia or United States” Lula said at the inauguration of the pipeline construction works in the city of Serra, next to Vitoria, capital of Espiritu Santo state.
