A fine target objective, and a long overdue renewal of offshore drilling in Uruguyan waters. May they be successful.

janway oil is important not only for energy generation (I agree that now Uruguay has a strong development on renewable resources, and its a good, tough expensive path), but for many other industries, like food, plastics, car tyres, even for medicine...It´s a large boon for any economy.
