Brazil's 'gotten off oil'?

lsadkfj

Bill Maher: "... I mean Brazil got off oil in the last thirty years..."

George Will: "Can you just explain to me in what sense Brazil got off oil?"
Maher: "Uh, I believe they did. I believe they, in the seventies, they had a program to use sugar cane ethanol. And I believe that is what fuels their country."

Will: "I think they still burn a lot of oil and have a lot of it offshore."

ABCNews:

"The largest share of Brazil's total energy consumption comes from oil... Most of Brazil's crude oil production is offshore..."
