- Russia''s oil and gas power Putin''s ambitionsSimon
Plans by the Moscow-based company Gazprom to provide 10% of Britain''s natural gas requirements by 2010 underline Russia''s growing international importance as an energy supplier.
Oil and gas bring political and economic clout. And they are fuelling a revival in Russia''s great-power ambitions.
Governments in western Europe inclined to criticise President Vladimir Putin''s interference in neighbours such as Ukraine or abuses in Chechnya may have second thoughts in future as their energy dependency grows.
American qualms about the Kremlin''s authoritarianism or its support for Iran may be more readily suppressed when Russia''s position as the world''s largest gas exporter and second largest oil exporter is factored in.
Mr Straw said. "By 2020 we will probably be importing three-quarters of our primary energy needs." Britain''s economy, public services and security relied on "secure and affordable energy supplies", he said.
What holds true for Britain holds true for its main allies. While Russia is 12th in the list of US oil suppliers, its output and proven reserves of 60bn barrels give it enormous leverage in the international marketplace. - Reply to this comment

- Crude Oil Imports (Top 15 Countries)
(Thousand Barrels per Day)
April 2008 Import Highlights: June 13, 2008
Preliminary monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in April 2008 has been released and it shows that two countries exported more than 1.50 million barrels per day to the United States.
The top five exporting countries accounted for 69 percent of United States crude oil imports in April while the top ten sources accounted for approximately 89 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports.
The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.952 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.453 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.259 million barrels per day), Nigeria (1.115 million barrels per day), and Venezuela (1.019 million barrels per day).
The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.679 million barrels per day), Angola (0.579 million barrels per day), Algeria (0.393 million barrels per day), Brazil (0.201 million barrels per day), and Kuwait (0.176 million barrels per day).
Total crude oil imports averaged 9.921 million barrels per day in April.
Canada remained the Largest Exporter of total petroleum in April, exporting 2.476 million barrels per day to the United States, which is a decrease from last month (2.542 thousand barrels per day).

- Note: "As Governor of California, I will do everything in my power to fight the federal government on this issue and prevent any new offshore drilling," Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a McCain supporter, said Wednesday.
Governors in some coastal states promised to block attempts to tap offshore petroleum reserves, citing concerns about the environment and tourism. Others agreed with President Bush`s call to lift a 27-year-old federal ban on offshore drilling but said states should decide whether to allow it.
Bush on Wednesday joined Republican presidential candidate John McCain in calling for the lifting of a prohibition on drilling along the East and West coasts and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. As the battle to lift the moratorium began to play out in Washington, states debated their stance.
This is about Diverse Energy Alternatives, its about Alternative Energy & Fuels. - Reply to this comment
