The People Can No Longer Bear Cooking Gas at 10% of the Minimum Wage and Gasoline Costing R$ 8, Up to R$ 9. Those Paying the Bill Are People with Lower Purchasing Power

The voting on the text of Bill (PL) 1,472/2021, which promotes changes in the fuel pricing policy practiced by Petrobras, has been postponed to next Tuesday (12/07) in the Senate. The text also establishes the creation of a tax on the export of crude oil, which would finance a fund to cushion the variation in the value of derivatives.

The PL aims to change the policy adopted by the state-owned company in 2016 of price parity with imports (PPI). This methodology uses as a reference for adjustments in gasoline, diesel, and cooking gas the price of oil in the international market and costs incurred by importers, such as transportation and port fees.

If the project succeeds, domestic prices for these products will reference not only the international market pricing and import expenses but also internal production costs, which decoupled from the exchange rate would drive prices lower.

The original author of the text, Senator Rogério Carvalho, proposed that the band system be financially enabled by establishing a fuel price stabilization fund. However, the rapporteur removed this point due to an initiative defect.

— Despite the undeniable merit, there is a legislative competency defect in Article 6, which creates the Stabilization Fund, which is why we will propose a wording adjustment, maintaining the objective of the proposal, which is to have instruments for stabilizing petroleum derivative prices. It is a special fund of an accounting nature and, therefore, cannot be created by a parliamentary initiative bill — he explained.

— The only thing that the CAE cannot do is remain silent and fail to vote. The government seems not to understand that the people can no longer bear cooking gas at 10% of the minimum wage and gasoline costing R$ 8, up to R$ 9. Those paying the bill are people with lower purchasing power. It is necessary to find a solution for the country regarding this fuel issue — stated the committee president, Otto Alencar (PSD-BA).

To Ease the Burden of Rising Gasoline, Ethanol, Diesel, and GNV Prices, Consumers Turn to Internet Kits Promising Water-Powered Cars Starting Below R$ 200

The best of Brazil is the Brazilians; with gasoline, ethanol, diesel, and GNV prices skyrocketing, there is no shortage of advertisements for accessories promising to reduce fuel consumption in vehicles. The novelty on the internet is a device that promises to convert conventional combustion engine automobiles into “water-powered” cars using a product known as a hydrogen kit.

This gadget being offered on social media and e-commerce sites has a starting price of less than R$ 200, but can exceed R$ 1,000 depending on the brand and configuration. However, the promise remains the same: the “technology” utilizes electricity from the alternator to extract hydrogen from water, which is then stored in a small tank.

Is a Water-Powered Car Possible? Watch the Video Below to Understand the Process:

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
