Another industry in the spotlight and from the South!.. right!?..
This is very good, I worked on platforms for 35 years, and I know how important it is to have reliable panels that can withstand high pressures and also not be invaded in the event of gas leaks near the panels.
You have to do what the Arabs are going to do, they're going to trip you up with biofuel, carnauba fuel is 7x more productive than soybeans, but more productive than corn. Sugar cane is the future. When there is a drought in which the production of soybeans, corn, and sugar cane due to the drought has harmed these, drought-resistant carnauba will be productive and making a profit for the Arabs, you small minds.
It's the battlefield, only victory matters, it's winning and winning and winning, I win Sergioguedes, let's produce biofuel from carnauba, which is more productive/profitable than soy, corn, sugar cane,
