'surveys already done that have measured the amount of natural gas estimate it to reach some nine trillion dollars.' Even if only a fraction of that is available, it would transform the finances of Greece and the entire region.

Greece is savvy enough to just go broke and go down in a fit of riots by p1$$ed off citizens instead of raising the earth's temperature to fever levels.

Duh, my bet is that Greece still hangs on to their Socialist Style Government.

Most of our economic problems are solvable, once we remember it’s OK to tell the Greens to shut up once in a while. :)

“In February 2011, the engineering consultancy Penspen was awarded the basic engineering design contract for the on-shore section of the pipeline from Komotini in to Igoumenitsa, Thesprotia.[5][6]

It is a part of the Interconnector Turkey–Greece–Italy pipeline. Greek gas company DEPA is responsible for the construction of Greek section. The offshore section will be constructed by IGI Poseidon SA, a joint venture between DEPA and Italian Edison S.p.A.[1]”

The opposition jihad isn’t pleased with these events.
