The core of the former Soviet Union generates just 2.6% of the world’s wealth but holds 32% of the world’s proven gas reserves. The rest of the G8 generate 40% of the wealth but just 4.4% of the gas. Russia is poor and in many ways does not deserve even to be part of the G8; but it is an energy superpower, a point Mr Putin will no doubt seek to emphasise during the G8’s deliberations.   more »

View Article  The Observer: Shell consortium in new Sakhalin pipeline dispute
Sakhalin Energy, in which oil giant Shell has a controlling stake, is this weekend facing allegations that it is misleading potential funders of the world's second most expensive infrastructure project. The company is apparently claiming to comply with environmental standards despite evidence to the contrary. A series of documents leaked to The Observer state that independent consultants monitoring the construction of a $20bn gas and oil project on Sakhalin island, off the east coast of Russia, highlight numerous breaches of environmental protocol. But versions of the same reports on the website of Sakhalin Energy, the consortium behind the project, give the consortium a clean bill of health. WWF senior campaigner James Leaton said: 'This misleading of potential funders and environmental groups raises the question of trust. This is Shell's last chance to get things right on Sakhalin 2. It appears they have hidden the truth, which leaves them with zero trust. WWF does not see how funders can trust Shell to deliver this project to meet acceptable standards. Shell has blown its chances and its credibility.'    more »
