The most profitable gas in the world : Comments
By Robert Bensh, published 4/4/2014Right now, the pipeline system is nothing but a conduit for Russian gas into Europe. It could be much more.

As Ukraine is a corrupt mess politically and economically, with the Russian wolf still at the door, heroic capitalist changes are required to boost Ukraine above rust belt status.

Russian gas may well be the most profitable gas in the world, but then, that could be said of anything marketed at the point of a Russian rifle?
We should counter this form of marketing, with the least expensive gas in the world! Bio-gas! Bio-gas,(methane) is created naturally or via a two tank system digester. Every household or accommodation high rise, produces enough biological waste, to produce enough bio-gas, to completely power their homes, all while providing free hot water. Adding food scraps/wastage to the digester process, creates a salable energy surplus. Currently, it is possible to power diesel engines with this gas, just by putting some steel wool in the intake, that removes most of the Co2 created with the methane. The energy coefficient of this type of energy conversion, is somewhere between 20-40% The engine has many moving parts which can and do wear out, creating ongoing inefficiency over time! However, scrubbing this gas and then feeding it to a super silent ceramic cell, with no moving parts, produces results which include little or no carbon emission, and an energy coefficient, of up to 80%! Or virtually double that of current conversion versions. The most profitable gas in the world, ought to be countered with the cheapest, and indeed, locally available to all humans who produce biological waste! Meaning, the world could end its reliance on Russian gas inside a year, if we were but led by thinkers, rather than ideologues, or the powerful, accepting covert backhanders, from current oil/gas suppliers? Well? If there is another more convincing explanation for the current status quo, I'd like to hear it! Rhrosty. Posted by Rhrosty, Friday, 4 April 2014 11:05:56 AM

What gibberish. Ukraine has no gas; it has pipelines which were not built or paid for by Ukrainians.

Reality check by Bloomberg. "Ukraine hosts a network of Soviet-era pipelines that carry more than half of Russia’s gas exports to the European Union, any disruption of supply puts the region’s energy security at risk."

Gibberish?
It is reported fact that the Crimea has substantial reserves of both gas and oil! Hence the Russian interest? I mean, they wouldn't want the Ukraine to stop being dependent on Russia, who clearly use their oil and gas, as economic blackmail, to keep Ukraine rolling over, begging for a tummy rub and out of NATO! The Ukraine also has huge shale deposits, which if fully developed, could sound the death knell of Russian control and or, manipulation? Those shale deposits, some in the east, some in the west, if fully developed, might well end European dependence on Russian oil or gas! Something Putin, who owns significant oil wells or shares himself, would not welcome? After all, the only reliable export incomes generated by a still impoverished Russia, are largely the product of oil and gas sales! And it just about all that finances Russia's military? I mean, tax avoidance in Russia, by the ruling elite is legendary? Were the Ukraine to develop a bio-gas industry, never again could they be blackmailed by their larger neighbor, during the height of a sub zero Russian/Ukraine winter! Moreover, they would never ever run out of gas, or have the tap turned off, by a hostile, sabre rattling, price gouging foreign supplier! When the soviet union broke up, so also did the ownership of former soviet pipelines, nuclear power stations and ICBM silos! If Russia and or Putin has a problem accepting that? Tough! And hardly a logical reason to start a new cold war, or conflict with a smaller Ukraine, which has a fairly large standing Army of it's own; and a defense posture based on the never ever defeated Austrian self defense model. I mean, the Russians, with all the might of the soviet union at their disposal, couldn't defeat tiny Afghanistan! So how do you think they'd fare, trying to bite off a much bigger lump, that is a now thoroughly enraged hostile Ukraine, which includes many Russian speakers in the east, who hate the Russian dictator Putin with a rare passion, previously reserved for Herr Hitler?

The last Soviet Union president, Mr Gorbachev, was a Ukrainian!
The Ukraine was the second largest state of that former confederation, and as the food bowl, generated much of the wealth and billions in wheat export incomes, much of which would have paid for the pipelines, which now traverse Ukrainian land! The Ukraine, with the River Don Cossack, has a enduring history of military conflict and armed resistance against Russia, that even predates the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union acquired the Ukraine as the spoils of repeated wars, rather than informed consent, or Ukrainian acquiescence? Some Russians may well pine for the former Soviet Union, their place at the centre of it, along with the former power and influence, that that gave them. However, they stand almost alone as a former state of the Soviet confederation, in wanting a return to that outcome! Or the cold war, and standing on the brink of mutually assured destruction; and the gulags and slave labor, that was an inherent part of it!? A very small minority of Russians want to return to those days, and all that went with it. However, the overwhelming sane majority, clearly do not! Rhrosty.

underonegod,
Wow! And to add, someone, [possibly the former President?] has transferred 73 billions of Ukrainian public funds, into not so secret anymore, private offshore accounts. Were the Ukraine authorities be able to recover this inherently stolen money, they would be able to develop many of their most valuable assets, and indeed, lift average wages above $100.00 a month! Those sort of average wages, could cause some manufacturers, to change their plans to move to China, which has wages inflation that is hovering around 10%+ per? And there are some American firms "invited" to leave Russia; and the Ukraine is just next door! In recent years, Swiss banks have been less reluctant, in exposing problematic accounts, and or, allowing the true owners of this money to have it back, for a suitable handling fee of course? Failing that, one can see a very cogent case for Europe, to invest very heavily in helping the Ukraine to develop its energy resources! For the very simple reason, it would allow them to stop having to rely on a price gouging Russia for anything! And the Ukraine is still a major grain producer, which still earns it considerable export dollars! If Russia were to invade the Ukraine, to guarantee its own food security, it would also need to take Poland and Hungry once more as a buffer? Only this time, it can't send Mongolian tanks and soldiers to quell the inevitable revolts! Meaning, any westward move by Putin would be far bigger bite than a still comparatively poor Russia could chew! Nor is NATO likely to sit still and allow that to happen! Rhrosty.

One under god and Rhrosty. I doubt R will read you list of sources, as he seems to have made up his mind on every topic offered in OLO. Shame really; it is necessary in old age to keep mentally active, but not to be trapped in the last Cold War and not to try to understand why since the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO has moved east to encircle Russia. As I have repeatedly argued, this threat will force Russia to embrace China and Iran, which will set back the reform so desperately needed.
Throasty. Putin is not so stupid as to invade East Ukraine. That would be counterproductive and unnecessary. What I fear is that when the cost of the EU/US rescue of the dysfunctional, bankrupt Ukraine is felt there will be pleas to Russia for help. Throsty. Incidently, do you have any incontrovertible evidence that Putin “owns significant oil wells or shares”- world wide investigations have so far failed to document it.

Rhrosty- with apologies to other readers for raising another irrelevance- but why do you declare "Mr Gorbachev, was a Ukrainian!"
He was born in southern Russia, and though from a peasant family, graduated from Moscow University cum laude with a law degree. Surely , if you want to exploit Gorby, you would cite reports that " The world should welcome the prospect of Crimea becoming part of Russia as it rectifies a historic mistake from the Soviet era, the Soviet Union's last leader Mikhail Gorbachev says. He described the weekend's referendum where almost 97 per cent voted in favour of Crimea joining Russia "as a success that responded to the expectations of Crimeans."

Hi Rhosty,
I think Gorbachov was born in Rostov, just outside Ukraine. You might be thinking of Nikita Krushchev, who was Ukrainian. Just before the Russian aggression against Georgia in 2008, I was reading about a huge pipeline being built and almost completed, from Turkmenistan across the Caspian Sea, through Azerbaijan and Georgia, to Turkey and then up through Greece and Kosovo and Bosnia to central Europe. I forget the name of the project. When the Russians engineered their provocation, the pipeline had only twenty miles or so from Georgia to the Turkish border, to finish. Of course, since then the Russians have learnt one thing: they don't need any 'Incident', or 'provocation', they can just invade whenever, wherever, whoever. They're big, they once had an Empire which they are fully entitled to get back and even extend, in their own minds, so the world can kiss their @rses. Gosh, real internationalists ! I heard Russian thugs singing the old Stalinist anthem on TV, but waited in vain to hear them follow it with the "Internationale'. I think any Leftist useful idiot may be waiting a long time to hear that wonderful anthem again. Mind you, I still get a thrill hearing the old Soviet anthem, not having a clue what the words mean: perhaps something like, 'From the balmy Adriatic to frozen Alaska, and from holy Ararat to the Finnish lakelands, it's all ours, and forever.' Imperialism certainly dies slow in the human breast. Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Saturday, 5 April 2014 3:19:32 PM

Hi Loudmouth
Here tis http://youtu.be/nbG0BBtUht0 The Soviet National Anthem for your listening and viewing pleasure. Notice all the women in it (not). Unsurprisingly these slab faced gents neither understood nor tolerated feminist causes. Hence neo-Komrad Putin sees Pussy Riot as a subversive threat and gaols accordingly.

The Ukraine will be lucky to survive after the greedy bankers under the guise of the IMF are finished, then they will be forced to devalue the currency so western corporations can buy the infrastructure of the country for next to nothing after the IMF make them privatize everything.

Hi Phillip,
Isn't paranoia fun ? i.e. from the flimsiest evidence, you can predict that (a) Putin's Neo-empire is completely blaimless of any involvement in the free choice of the Crimean Ukrainian-Tartar population; (b) the West, i.e., the IMF, i.e. the US, i.e. the CIA, is responsible for everything that is going wrong, or might go wrong, with anything remotely connected to the Ukraine, which is, after all, despite containing fifty million living, breathing and thinking human beings, just an appendage of Mother Russia, the rightful ruler of all that Tsars have hitherto surveyed. Well, I'm glad that's settled. Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Saturday, 5 April 2014 7:39:50 PM

A referendum, conducted under a Russian gun, and without a no option, is not a referendum, but rather, and ultimatum!
I think Gorbachev claimed to be Ukrainian, spoke fluent Ukrainian, and came the the presidency from a position of power, in the Ukraine? However, I could be misinformed, and that being so, I stand corrected. The sooner the Ukraine and the world end all dependence on Mr Putin's Russia, for gas or anything whatsoever, the better!

Hi Rhosty,
You may be right about Gorbachev. I think that Putin is riding a tiger - now that he is on, he can't get off and he's heading for disaster by hanging on. His oil monopoly over the Ukraine has only a year or two to run, so he has to move quickly to drag all of the old Empire back under the Tsarist boot. We'll see. The Russian population is declining, except for those of the Moslem republics within the Russian Federation. Life expectancy in Russia is actually declining - where else is that happening ? Russia depends on its oil dominance, nothing else. So this might be its last gasp for power. I watching to see what Kazakhstan and the central Asian republics do: do they turn towards China or buckle under Putin ? Dangerous times. Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Sunday, 6 April 2014 4:14:04 PM

Rhosty,
rom Wikipedia: "Gorbachev was born on 2 March 1931 in Stavropol, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, into a mixed Russian-Ukrainian family[4] of migrants from Voronezh and Chernigov Governorates. As a child, Gorbachev experienced the Soviet famine of 1932–1933. He recalled in a memoir that "In that terrible year [in 1933] nearly half the population of my native village, Privolnoye, starved to death, including two sisters and one brother of my father."[5] Both of his grandfathers were arrested on false charges in the 1930s; his paternal grandfather Andrey Moiseyevich Gorbachev (Андрей Моисеевич Горбачев) was sent to exile in Siberia.[6][7]" So you're right :) Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Sunday, 6 April 2014 4:17:49 PM

The Ukraine is not a gas exporter but an importer.
At present there is talk of reversing the pipeline to Europe so that the Ukraine can buy gas from Rumania and or Russian gas from Germany via the Nordgas pipe. Moscow is very unhappy about that. I am not sure about oil they might be an exporter. The other pipe via Turkey I think is not finished yet, and is another alternative to avoid the Ukraine.
