Evidently the oil sheiks are watching G00. Reality Nov 10, 2007: "France [Economy Minister] urges oil producers to raise capacity" http://investing.reuters.co.uk/news/articleinvesting.aspx?type=oilRpt&storyID=2007-11-10T124248Z_01_L1017697_RTRIDST_0_ECONOMY-FRANCE-OIL-UPDATE-1.XML
SciFi 2307 (broadcast on Nov 10, 2007): "[Azadistan's] Marina is meeting with the French foreign minister about getting technical assistance for solar power generation" http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2007/11/10/gundam-00-06/ And then... http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/11/12/opec_summit/ Quote: OPEC says it just wants to be sure there's a market for oil exports five, 10, or 15 years from now. If the U.S. and Europe are going to encourage alternatives, like solar, wind and bio-fuels, OPEC worries demand will dry up and investments in extra capacity would be a waste of money. Quote: They[OPEC]'re saying ... that if you [the West] do try to go full steam ahead in developing alternative energies we're not going to make it easy for you. Well fair enough, if someone really do build a solar power system that makes fossil fuel irrelevant, OPEC is staring at Azadistani future square in the face, and not even 300 years, but more like 50. So as long they still hold some kind of string, they are going to pull it, before someone else snip it for them. Mr. Al Gore, take your precious little Oscar and Nobel statuettes and sit in the corner where you belong. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
