Gas prices may go down in the next couple of weeks...

The first drops of crude will snake their way along a pipeline that traverses some of the most unstable and war-ravaged countries on Earth. This is the oil flow that was meant to save the West, and last night the taps were to be turned on.

The 1754km Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyha pipeline has transformed the geopolitics of the Caucasus and its impact is now being felt in Central Asia.

Output is supposed to reach one million barrels a day - more than 1 per cent of the world�s total production - from an underground reserve that could hold as many as 220 billion barrels.

Its architects and investors claimed the pipeline would shore up energy supplies in the US and Europe for the next half century.

....more

about the disgusting profits being made.

From The World is Not Enough I think.

<G>

I think in the Bond movie it was Azerbijhan (sp?) where the oil originated.

On edit: nevermind, Baku is in Azerbaijhan.

Istanbul better watch out...wasn't the plan to nuke Istanbul so that all the oil woudl go through their pipeline?

causes many things to happen.

Too much profit? It's being spoken by the talking news heads? Well, let's just give the peasants a few more cents in their holey pockets....for a bit

First, it has to be transported and then stored . Then hopefully it can be refined.

Putin is not happy with Dubya or Azerbaijan...

How does 1 M bbl/dy, a little bit more than the US gets from domestic stripper wells, 'Loosen The OPEC Grip'.

I guess hyperbole is now taught as core course in journalism school.

Also, there are now question as to whether the reserves in the region are adequate to even make the pipeline project worthwhile.

Competition is strictly forbidden.

That's why prices go up so much.


So they can gouge us for more than they should, and have us feel greatful for it.


Paying $2.50 a gallon doesn't seem so bad now, does it? Almost feels like a steal.


But if someone wanted to charge you that even five years ago, you would have told them to go screw.

hold on to their power for two more years. The numbers have shown repeatedly that the price we pay is nothing more than the energy consortium manipulating the prices with smoke and mirrors.

One of the current regimes objectives was to generate enormous profits for their buddies that own the oil companies.

Supply wil not affect prices with this gang in charge.

Mission Accomplished !

Tbilisi is in Georgia, and they wanted a pro-Russian government in power there. Then the Velvet Revolution happened, and the regime there is ostensibly pro-US.

today. It all ties together, doesn't it. Pooty did not like the way Dubya stabbed him in the back, I guess?

Exxon Mobil & Conoco Phillips are just not making enough profit ya know!:sarcasm:

Know what I'm sayin'?

really getting better before they vote.

drop in time for people to forget, just before the '06 election fiasco. Same pattern, as always.

and then, not by much:

"--(BTC) will pump 1 million barrels per day of Caspian Sea oil toward
Western markets when it becomes fully operational next year."

Which is still just over one percent of total global daily consumption.

Let's hook a trailer to the H-2 and go to a game!
