Howdy Stephen,   The natural gas reserves of Bolivia are huge, the largest in South America.  Brazil needs the gas. Venezuela is fishing in troubled waters. Stir up with a brand of South American politics, add the US state dept, the CIA and a few disgruntled major oil companies that feel they were " stiffed" and a very unsettling scenario can unfold. Supposedly cool heads in Brazil are working to keep a calm because it benefits South America. Unfortunately, it doesn't benefit " big oil" because they cannot control this gas market. The game of big oil is profit. Nothing else matters.   Should the US Energy Secretary so choose, he could make mention of the promise of Cold Fusion and it would instantly change the world playing field. This is why he is not going to mention CF. It will finally leak out , perhaps by the French. The " scramble" begins thereafter.   I see a insane feeding frenzy when the CF  event bursts upon the world scene.   Richard
