Legal Insurrection ^ | March 31, 2013 | Professor William A. Jacobson

Israel now is pumping natural gas from one of the enormous offshore fields which will transform Israel into an energy-independent nation and a global energy powerhouse:

Natural gas from the offshore Tamar field was pumped to Israeli shores for the first time Saturday, four years after its discovery, in preparation for its first use in the Israeli energy market — a move that could transform the Israeli economy.

The Tamar deposit, discovered in 2009 some 90 kilometers west of Haifa, holds an estimated 8.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

On Saturday, hailed an “important day for the Israeli economy” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, natural gas from the field was being pumped to a newly erected facility on the coast of Ashdod, connected to the gas field via pipelines laid out on the ocean floor, 150 kilometers long and 16 inches wide....

Of course, the extra jobs produced would help the economy of all the countries in the region- if they would let it.

That natural gas field is the 487th holiest spot in Islam and therefore the Jooooooooos should have to turn it over to the Arabs in any peace agreement. < /Oy! it’s sarcasm>

Good for them.

One of the best parts is that Isreal will probably start running their trucks and cars on the new fuel, and that should lead to new ways to get it done cheaply. Ways which the dork in charge of this counrty has no interest in.

Tamar contains around 10 trillion cubic feet of gas. Leviathan, which will start flowing in a couple of years, contains almost 3 times as much.

Have you eve wondered reading Eze 38-39 what is Russia expected to "plunder" when it attacks Israel? Need a hint?

Exactly! While he was riding his flying horse, Mohammed pooped over that very spot!

I recall watching a black and white movie in school, reel film shown on a projector, about how a man in England converted his car to run on chicken poo. It showed a small amount of water condensate coming out the exhaust pipe. It was said it did not smell at all. This was at least 60 years ago. Wonder if any cars on the road now could run on such a setup?
