Sorry to see this happen especailly considering the 8 republican defectors could have made the difference.
Fortunately it will probably not pass the Senate. Fingers Crossed.
Russia Increases Gas Supply
Monday, January 2nd, 2006From the UK Times: Russia to increase gas supply to Europe
Russia today began to increase its supply of natural gas to European customers in an attempt to deflect growing international condemnation over its gas war with Ukraine. Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned monopoly, claimed that its former Soviet ally had helped itself to $25 million of gas since its supply was cut off in a politically-charged dispute over a four-fold price increase.A quarter of Europe’s Russian gas imports arrive via a pipeline which runs from Siberia through Ukraine. Kiev denies the accusation that it has been stealing supplies but several central European countries including Austria, Poland and Hungary reported sharp falls in the pressure in their pipelines this morning.
Things like this keep up, nuclear power becomes more attractive.
It could become a reality, if politicians would grow a spine against environmentalist. Sadly things will have to hit a critical state before they would start to consider real alternatives and put environmentalist in their proper place.
