Peak Oil News - International Energy Agency Speaks Out Against Russia’s Baltic Gas Pipeline

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has taken Poland’s side and reinforced its arguments against the construction of gas pipeline that will link Russia and Germany under the Baltic Sea.

“We entirely understand Poland’s position on this issue. From the Polish point of view it would be more favorable to remain a transit country. We dismiss the argument that thanks to the new gas line Poland’s gas supplies will be more secure,” said Faith Birol, chief economist at the IEA, quoted by the Polish News Bulletin.
