Planurile lui Dumnezeu sunt greu de înțeles uneori. De ce a pus El petrol în subsolul întregii regiuni, doar sub Israel n-a pus? Este oare o profeție ascunsă în așa numita “grăsime a pământului“?
Iată că, de câteva zile, Israel a început explorarea unui zăcământ uriaș de gaze naturale, aflate sub platforma maritimă din partea de nord a țării. Tot ei discută cu palestinienii lansarea unei astfel de exploatări în platforma maritimă din dreptul fâșiei Gaza. Ce să însemne aceasta? Cum va fi când Israel va fi un exportator de energie? Îi vor lăsa arabii?
Gas from Israel’s Tamar field starts to flow |

| Natural gas from the Tamar field off Israel’s Mediterranean shores has started flowing, the first step towards Israel possibly becoming an energy-exporting country within the next few years.The discovery in 2009 led to an exploration frenzy in the Levant Basin – shared between Israel, Cyprus and Lebanon – and the uncovering of a second bigger find, Leviathan, which prompted Israel to set up a natural gas wealth fund. Tamar alone is expected to meet the country’s natural gas needs for decades.”Today [we begin] independence in Israeli natural gas. It is an enormous achievement for the Israeli economy and the start of a new era,” said Israeli billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, the controlling shareholder in Delek Group, one of the partners in Tamar on Saturday.The gas should lead to a reduction in production costs for state utility Israel Electric Corp., as well as a decline in the price of electricity, the Israeli water and energy ministry said last week.
A statement from the production partners, who said they had invested $3bn in developing Tamar, estimated the new gas supplies would save Israel’s economy, which relies heavily on oil imports, $3.6bn per year. Texas-based Noble Energy holds 36 percent of Tamar. |
