thats because it cheaper to buy Gas & Oil off of other countries but we still have a significant amount of Gas & Oil stored for a crises just like this infact the UK could become one of the worlds 5 largest Oil producers in the next 10 to 20 years if what they are saying about the Falklands is true and anyway your wrong the UK for the most part is self sufficient interms of Gas .

Russia. Dont piss them off.

The UN is useless...

Even if people actually listened to them Russia has the power of veto

Personally, I see this as the first act of terrorism committed quite directly by a government and it shouldn't be tolerated...

Ukraine is still without oil and Russia is claiming that the Ukraine is stealing the oil with American backing...

Meanwhile the Oil market continues to be volitile and adding even more shocks through an unstable world economy...

[QUOTE="EmpCom"][QUOTE="snakes_codec"]lmao Europe wont fight Russia over this not unless they want there Oil supplie cut off to thank god i i live on an island nation that has its own supplies :Psnakes_codec

We arent talking a few barrels here. This is a huge amount of Oil that's just "disappeared".

If Russia is the party responsible for moving the Oil to Ukraine...and if the Oil is yet to arrive...isn't Russia the logical place to start looking for a problem?

I can't imagine that Ukraine is stealing the oil because Ukraine is winter locked and needs the fuel for heating...Essentially, they can't "hide" it because they need to use it...

Russia has a history of throwing it's weight around. Russia is bringing a third party into this (USA) for no obvious reason.

Alarm bells are ringing...

The plans have already been approved and it's scheduled to finish in 2012 or something... construction is yet to begin.

EDIT: @ Horgen

France uses Nuclear and Hydroelectric power as well as Gas...MattUD1

[QUOTE="snakes_codec"][QUOTE="horgen123"] Don't you get much of your Gas from Norway? :Phorgen123

nope we have one of the largest natural Gas reserves in the world .

yeah but like i said we are for the most part self sufficient and have are own reserves we buy gas from Norway because its cheaper but are own Gas supplies take care of most of are needs where as most other European countries are still having to buy off Russia .

Christ your behind mate, the gas was switched off 2 weeks ago and a deal was agreed today to turn it back on. Good thing as well as the EU was considering seizing the UK supplies to power the Eastern block of countries.lucky326
