I need help solving a problem.

How does Israel with it's $1.2Trillion in natural gas get it to market in the EU and China without creating Muzzie boogiemen and attacking the countries that stand in the way of pipelines?



Anyone?

It seems to me they would have to make a business deal or destroy all the competition in their path.

Do they own it or does that take international agreements? How many highly unstable Mediterranean fault lines would it have to cross? Sell to who? India? How are you going to get it there when you have no friends in the region willing to allow a ROW?

Unfortunatly it does have an impact on your life.

It's an imposed problem when Canada and Canadian companies are asked to be part of development, distribution and security of the gas as well as the Gigawatts of electricity, food and water they wish to sell as a by-product of desalinization along with the gas.

It's part of Israel's plan to have "at least one vegetable in every salad in Europe". Which means boats are far too slow requiring truck or rail

Egypt, Libya, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon have huge deposits too and agricultural land ready to go with massive power/desalinization projects that can be far more competitive.

Syria keeps former Bolshevik oligarch funded Israeli gas out of the Russian dominated EU market which is why they are cozy with Moscow.

Turkey stands to gain no matter what happens.

Without a boogieman are any of the goals and $Trillions involved with the NG attainable?

Trying to distance themselves from $1.2Trillion in NG that has nothing to do with what's going on?
