### Brazil Oil Shift, Gulf Drilling Moratorium

- **Episode:** [197: Salt in the Wound](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/197-salt-in-the-wound.md)
- **Published:** 2010-05-06
- **Time:** 1:45:41–1:48:48
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/197-salt-in-the-wound/chapter/brazil-oil-shift-gulf-drilling-moratorium.md

The Obama administration's response to the Gulf oil spill is framed as a strategy to shut down domestic drilling in favor of investments in Brazil. Significant capital from firms like First Reserve Corp is moving toward Brazilian oil fields. The predicted outcome is a three-month delay in capping the leak to justify a permanent shift in U.S. energy production and higher consumer prices.
