As I said in another thread, other countires are funding them via the back door. Saudi Arabia has oil. Don't rock the boat. The good news, Canadian Sand Tar and the Brazilians two major oil finds. I did get a report that the Chinese have invested heavily into someones oil find. I would think Brazil. Obama did get hammered on visiting Brazil and promising funding from the US. Also, the Japanese Tsunami occured at the same time.
