To get out of this with the Ecuadorian public all they have to do is set the windfall at $5000/oz US adjusted for inflation and they are off the hook.  If we ever hit $5000/oz inflation adjusted they can have 100% in my books.  Such a windfall tax would make me very happy:)   The devil will be in the details if its real. 

Does anyone know what the 'windfall' amount that used for oil?   When did it kick in?   Was it inflation adjusted?

I read that prior to his October announcement that the amount was 50% of the windall and that after they are talking 99% that is still subject to negotiaition.

If anyone has some info that might help us to think about this please share.
