#1 It is unclear how a gas cartel would function given that most contracts are taken out on very long delivery schedules of 15 years or more
Duh, they'll just pull another Lukos and liquidate the firm along with the contracts....Russian bankruptcy. Just try not to be the next Khodorkovsky. Lesson learned: don't try to apply Western business standards where they don't belong.

#3 If Putin wants to shut off Europe's gas pipes, there's nothing the Euros can do about it.

#4 OTOH, WORLDNEWS > IRAN SITS ON WORLD'S LARGEST OIL RESERVES [untapped]. Also, C2CAM Pert > World is already at "Peak/Easy Oil" levels - tis downhill from now on, i.e. after Year 2010, unless effective alternative power systems on a mass scale can be developed. PRISONPLANET.com > Brit MOD STudy > BIOWEAPONS in the future may be used for deadly, wilful POPULATION CONTROL. Future world is likely to be SECTARIAN, ANARCHISTIC, and DARWINIST, i.e. strongest will survive the pervasive chaos and disorder. MARXISM-COMMUNISM reborn as method of effective, DESPERATE IDEO OF CONTROL. BTW, OOOOOOPPPSIES,
"ETHNIC CLEANSING" WORKS??? and may actually PROLIFERATE??? ANd then theres GUARDIAN.UK > RENSE.com > STOP SHOPPING OR EARTH WILL GO POP. D *** ng it, HUMAN CONSUMERISM [West] IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN GLOBAL WARMING + DEGRADATION OF GLOBAL ENVIRON vv WASTES. and ITS DOUBTFUL CAPITALISM IS STRONG/TUFF ENUFF TO STOP WASTEFUL CONSUMERISM. SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, its TOTALITARIANISM, COMMUNISM, GOVERNEMTISM, etal. OR THE EARTH = HUMANITY WASTES ITS WAY UNTO DEATH + EXTINCTION.

#5 More reason to create a cartel with Brazil and South Africa to move the third world's energy to sugar-based ethonal and pebble-bed nuke reactors.

Time to think outside of past alliances and get the hell away from oil and natural gas.
