Russia finds vast oil and gas reserves in British Antarctic territory

Russia has found vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511bn barrels of oil – about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output – have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week

Hopefully ruzzia will cease to exist in the near future and the push for oil will die down. Geeze.

Wonder Why

I plan to make an ash of myself in ten years or less based on my health. Of course some will say I already started when I began posting on D.U.
