If the escalations continue, then soon it might be'Game Over'

Israel's #genocide in neighbouring areas seems to be just a part of a bigger plan.

The triangle of evil, #Israel #Turkey #SaudiArabia has several new members, #Qatar #UAE, #Ukraine, and they are doing exactly the same thing they have been doing since the 1980s. #Europe needs cheap #gas and like a few years ago it needs a pipeline for the gas from Qatar.

It's depressing and makes you angry to see how money goes before people. For profit, there are 'organizations' calculatingly funding an army of paid killers, led by the group #Hayat #Tahrir-al-Sham, formerly known as #Jabhat #al-Nusra, to invade Syria to strengthen Israel's, #Erdoğan's, #Nato's, #dollar-hegemony's interests.

All this to weaken or even destroy the “Axis of Resistance”, #BRICS, #Iran, #China, #Russia and all others who dare not to obey to the hegemony's demands.

BlackRock’s Fink Calls For Energy Pragmatism, Omits ESG From Annual Letter

“I’m hearing more leaders talk about decarbonization and energy security together under the joint banner of what you might call ‘energy pragmatism.’ Last year ... I spent a lot of time talking to the people who are responsible for powering homes and businesses, everybody from prime ministers to energy grid operators. The message I heard was completely opposite to what you often hear from activists on the far left and right, who say that countries have to choose between renewables and oil and gas. These leaders believe that the world still needs both. They were far more pragmatic about energy than dogmatic. Even the most climate conscious among them saw that their long-term path to decarbonization will include hydrocarbons, albeit it less of them, for some time to come.”

“Or look at Texas. They face a similar energy challenge – not because of Russia but because of the economy. The state is one of the fastest growing in the U.S., and the additional demand for power is stretching ERCOT, Texas’ energy grid, to the limit.

Today, Texas runs on 28% renewable energy – 6% more than the U.S. as a whole. But without an additional 10 gigawatts of dispatchable power, which might need to come partially from natural gas, the state could continue to suffer devastating brownouts. In February, BlackRock helped convene a summit of investors and policymakers in Houston to help find a solution.”

“The energy market isn’t divided the way some people think, with a hard split between oil & gas producers on one side and new clean power and climate tech firms on the other. Many companies, like Occidental, do both, which is a major reason BlackRock has never supported divesting from traditional energy firms. They’re pioneers of decarbonization, too... We invest in these energy companies for one simple reason: It’s our clients’ money. If they want to invest in hydrocarbons, we give them every opportunity to do it – the same way we invest roughly $138 billion in energy transition strategies for our clients. That’s part of being an asset manager. We follow our clients’ mandates.”

Norway's energy sector under threat of Russian sabotage, Norwegian security chief says

Norway's energy sector is under threat of #sabotage from Russia, Norwegian security chief Beate Gangaas told Reuters on Aug. 27, as European security services briefed Norwegian energy officials on potential Russian threats.

Norway is a key provider of #oil, #gas, and #electricity for Europe, overtaking Russia as Europe's top gas supplier in 2022.

"When we are talking about sabotage today, we are talking about Russia,"

The #helium #supply #crisis

The latest helium supply crisis, dubbed Helium #Shortage 4.0, originated in 2022 after 16 years of recurring shortages. A series of unanticipated events such as explosions, fires and outages impacted recovery of the market following the launch of #Gazprom’s Amur #facility.

Merkel withheld information about Russia's intention to blackmail Europe with gas, German outlet reports

Russia aimed to accelerate the introduction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline into service without German authorities' certification by causing a gas deficit in Europe, Handelsblatt said, referring to a 2021 document from the German Economy Ministry.

The document also described Russian actions as threatening to cause "dramatic consequences," while the filling of gas storage facilities was called "very slow."

Gazprom filled its European gas storage only halfway by July 2021, according to the document.

Peter Altmaier, then-German economy minister, obtained the document and informed the cabinet of ministers, according to Handelsblatt. In October 2023, Merkel told the media that she did not see any signs of Russia cutting its gas supply to Europe.
