Look ahead to a year from now. But will iraq look like quick theres a real possibility will have three de facto states. The official state dominated by the shia arabs in the south. The Islamic State or the isil state in syria and iraq and the very top of his kurdish entity in the north. How that function . It will function well. They will be at odds with each other. However another alternative will work to find a way to unify the countrys and then how golf course is to write to retake in the territory from the isil. Thats the best way, but its in trouble right now. You can see out the iraqi ambassadors comment that 4 10 eastern in todays washington journal site that with jeffrey anytime on her website that is cspan. Org. Booktv sat down with former secretary of state work with didnt discuss her new book, hard choices. You dont make peace with your friends.

Dismissed the need for shale Gas Technology and its development in russia one of the areas that is important in the discussion today is that neighboring ukraine has vast, unconventional Gas Resources and these resources are being targeted by again the International Oil industry. Shell sign ad production sharing agreement in Eastern Ukraine which is on hold right now. Chevron has an agreement, a productionsharing agreement in western ukraine for unconventional gas. And in a sense, i suppose if ukraine were to stablize you could see these projects moving forward. Russia state Oil Company Rosneft has been very supportive of the development of Unconventional Oil resources in russia and it has team up with exxonmobil. In may it teamed up with bp on a Pilot Project in the volga, urals, exxonmobil is in siberia. U. S. Energy information estimated that russias technically recoverable shale resources are 75 billion barrels of oil. The largest in the world, the u. S. Ranks second. So in a sense,
Not because i was too young but im not sure what i was, so i just remember sort of vaguely coming to law and this was like this cool area, jamie boil is a very close friend and it seemed like he was just intellectually playful and too cool for anything that i did. David you note the sense of sort of gee whizness. Its the most attractive thing to me coming from fields where the general action is pistols at dawn. So this is in some sense a very strange conversation about the future of this field that has a certain sense about staking ownership intellectually in the next camp. And ryan, i think that you know that im the biggest fan of this paper ive been pushing to kind of everybody, but i believe that if we get swrout side of the conversation with the people who are part of the cyber conversation from before which notably everything here is really focused on, i think that the part of the paper thats going to be the most lasting in terms of generating the basic ideas about these new conve
Its unclear whether we can manage promoting the development of energy overseas and support for Climate Change. Its uncertain whether we can utter the words natural gas in a policy statement, you know, coming out of the white house and say that we actually want other countries to develop it rather than we want to make the world more resilient because were using less, and theyll have more. So its unclear s. So the question as it affects russia and ukraine and i would say europe and the caspian too is are we doing all we can with all that we have to maximize this advantage. And i think the short answer to that is, no, not yet. And what i hope well talk about today is what our ageneral da should be for europe agenda should be for europe. You cant move gas from point to point. Are we doing enough as the United States to move europe in that direction . Is europe doing enough for itself . Development of shale gas. A lot of the opposition comes from gas [inaudible] some of it comes from Energy
If shale gas extraction goes ahead, it will be a boon to New Brunswicks struggling economy. The province anticipates it could generate over a thousand jobs and 1. 5 billion dollars staunching the exodus of workers west to albertas oil sands. To have that kind of revenue inflow and that kind of potential, it would have a dramatic impact on the province. In fact, on the studies we looked at just a few weeks ago indicates that Shale Gas Development could actually double the Economic Growth rates in the province. Three years later these were the images from New Brunswick flashing across Canadian Television screens. Royal Canadian Mounted Police guns trained on First Nations people, police cars sent up in flames. We seized a number of firearms from the encampments at the protest site. We also found explosive devices, a large amount of ammunition knives, and bear spray. Several shots were fired from within the encampment. Molotov style explosives were thrown at police, and six rcmp vehicles
