Chevron's fracking plans in Ukraine?
They can export gas to West Europe which will reduce their dependence on Russia. And since Ukraine will never part of EU - no worries about those pesky environmental regulations for Chevron. Everybody wins... except maybe Russia and perhaps Ukraine which will be stuck with polluted water supplies and occasional earthquakes.
I thought the goal was for the US to become energy independent. Now Obama wants to export American natural gas. He wants to
FRACK up the environment with sludge and pollute the water table so we can sell American natural gas to the highest bidder? I suppose next he'll approve the XL pipeline so we can pollute the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest freshwater aquifer in the world? Makes perfect sense - if your goal is to screw the environment and the American people.
All hail PNAC, Chevron, Neocons, Neolibs.
How cute that the same US Assistant Secretary of State, who was one of Dick Cheney's right hand Advisors and is married to the co-founder of PNAC, the same one whose open cell calls about toppling the democratically elected government of Ukraine were intercepted, is so proud to stand in front of the Chevron and Exxon Mobil logos as she claptraps her propaganda.
All hail. Old news. Move on. Nothing to see here.
