Live Earth's Hot Air, Burn Oil Instead
London (AFP) May 19, 2007 Rock legend Roger Daltrey blasted the forthcoming Live Earth event, saying burning more oil would do more to find solutions to climate change problems, in comments published Saturday. The Who's singer questioned the value of the July 7 concerts and said a better idea would be to "burn all the oil" to force world leaders into action. "The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert," Daltrey told The Sun newspaper. "We have problems with global warming but the questions and the answers are so huge I don't know what a rock concert's ever going to do to help. "My answer would be to burn all the oil as quick as possible, then the politicians will have to find a solution." A Live Earth spokesman said: "People are aware of global warming but millions are not doing anything about changing their lifestyles." Nine giant concerts will take place across the globe in a 24-hour relay on July 7 intended to raise awareness about climate change. The brainchild of former US vice president Al Gore, the concerts span Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Hamburg, London, Rio de Janeiro and New York. Madonna, Genesis, Bon Jovi, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are among the acts signed up. Organisers hope the concerts will raise awareness of the issue just as the 1985 Live Aid concerts raised awareness of starvation in Africa. They aim to reach over two billion people on television, radio and the Internet.

Gas Union Of Three
Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) May 17, 2007Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan for two reasons. First, he wanted to set up a partnership of the three countries to build a gas pipeline north of the Caspian Sea. And second, he needed to prevent an anti-Russian alliance of European countries in the energy sector. In my opinion, he achieved both these goals. |
