Norway’s $1.4 trillion sovereign wealth fund, one of the world’s largest investors, said on Saturday it will vote against a resolution calling on British oil major BP (BP.L) to adopt tougher greenhouse gas targets.
SEYMOUR Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist with decades of experience assessing intelligence for its credibility and accuracy, has published a detailed account of how the CIA, in collaboration with Norwegian partners in Nato, planned and executed the sabotaging of the Russian gas pipelines collectively known as Nord Stream 1 and 2.
Secretary of State Tony Blinken stated that sabotaging the pipelines was in “no one’s interest” Tuesday. The White House National Security Council also stated that the U.S. would not “speculate on the cause.”
But quite regardless of whoever it is who escalating this ‘war’ on the Nord Stream pipelines to Europe, the sabotage, plus Gazprom’s warning that the last remaining gas supply is at risk of shutdown, has brutally revealed how exposed Britain’s energy system and its entire economic and societal stability is to external threats.
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk told reporters in Norway on Aug. 29 that, while sustainable energy sources should be developed, the world must continue to extract oil and gas in order to sustain civilization.
