UK - NEEDS EUROPEAN LNG - FRACKING - ENERGY DRYING UP

Government data hints at future challenges for curbing natural gas emissions 05 August 2014 ... As a consequence, the UK's main LNG supplier, Qatar, is sending increasing amounts of LNG south east rather than to the UK, which isn't willing to match Asia's price. In 2013, 62 per cent of Qatar's LNG was exported to Asia, with only 30 per cent going to Europe. ... If the UK is going to use gas as a bridging fuel while curbing its emissions, it will need to continue to import as much as possible from the continent rather than alternative sources. Shale gas could potentially play a role, but only if fugitive methane emissions are constrained. Finding alternative low emission gas sources will get ever more pressing as North Sea wells dry up and Norway's resources become increasingly depleted. http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2014/08/government-data-hints-at-future-challenges-for-curbing-gas-demand/

Wow!

This would indicate that UK has a vested interest in supporting the Obama/US incursions into Eastern Europe ... and that UK would be fully behind the energy rape of Ukraine, the replacement of infrastructure ... and snatch of Russia's market etc.

UKRAINE - US & CO - GRAB FOR OIL, GAS & COAL and PIPELINES

Naked Goals of Ukrainian Genocide – Part I  ... What does it all this have to do with Ukraine, Novorossia and the re-shaping of the world? Just look at the picture and try to imagine that all the US senators and congressmen, Obama and Merkel, and others all over the world are doing the same. And it is not important how accurate the picture is — those people will be making decisions with this picture in mind. The picture is clear: it’s essential to grab the sources of oil, gas, coal immediately (before 2030), as well as the ways and means to transport them (specifically gas and oil pipelines). And the one who succeeds in taking possession of as much as possible is sure to become a leader and ride the tide of the energy crisis expected in 2030. That is just some 15–16 years off. It has long been said, you should never boast about your gas and oil, or you’ll call a democracy down upon your head. They were warned but didn’t hear; better to just thumb one’s nose at Moscow. And now let’s read carefully how the Yuzivska shale gas field (southern Kharkov and northern Donetsk region) shows up in terms of statistics: estimated deposits, 4 trillion m3; planned production capacity (so far), 10 billion m3 a year; and, planned investments in the development of the Yuzivska and Odessa (whoa!) gas fields in the 30 years to come – on the order of 50-70 billion dollars. That’s assuming the price of gas in Europe remains the same – $400 for 100 m3. After a simple calculation we see that the bowels of the earth at Donetsk and Kharkov contain an estimated 4 x $400 billion = $1600 trillion. Annual income at current prices may reach, at a minimum, 10 x 400 million = $4 billion. Let me ask you, what might one do to Ukraine in order to get 1.5-2 trillion bucks? Anything one chooses, in the most perverted fashion. And this is the Yuzivska field only! http://slavyangrad.org/2014/08/05/naked-goals-of-ukrainian-genocide-part-i/

Had no idea there was so much at stake!
