BRUSSELS - The European Commission approved on Wednesday a proposal from Britain's BP, U.S. oil major Chevron, Italy's Eni and France's Total and Angola's Sonangol to take control of Angola LNG joint venture to develop liquefied natural gas projects.

No Matter What The Washington Post Says, Ukraine Will Not Be Energy Independent

Tue, 15 May 2012 09:11:52 CDTViewed: 57 times.

Ukraine will almost certainly continue to be highly dependent on Russian gas, and it will remain dependent for the foreseeable future. A more energy independent Ukraine would be more politically independent from Moscow, and would have greater room to liberalize, but it is hard to see how this is going to happen because Ukraine is not going to achieve anything like energy independence. The agreements with Chevron and Royal Dutch are positive evolutionary steps in the country's on-again off-again transition from communism, but they are not panaceas to a dependence on Russian energy that is baked very deeply into the country's economic institutions and infrastructure. If we want to deal with the world as it is we need to focus on mitigating the adverse consequences of Ukrainian energy dependence, not pretend that it is something that can be rapidly overcome.
