My post # 31 are of of Wikipedia.
They are a list of Israel Natural gas fields in the Eastern Med. Israel and Jordan formerly bought gas from Egypt. Now, Israel is supplying their own domestic gas and also selling to Jordan. They and Egypt want to set up a pipeline sending the gas to Egypt.
Israel has more natural gas than it can ever use in the next 100 years or more. They want to sell it. The countries of Europe need it. The question is WHY are WE(the USA) standing in the way of their pipeline?
I can only assume it is because the Biden/Obama folks have an piece of the action of a potential compeating pipeline through Turkey or Syria/Iran/Iraq.
Bingo!
Moreover, as to continual exploration for and identification of new fields, the "fossil" metaphor is a sales pitch, and little more. Petroleum is a hyyro- (water) -carbon (mineral) result of deep geologic pressures, and very likely is renewing itself.
Biden nixed the Keystone in favor of Buffet's rail transport of Canadian oil, so we know that when the Obama/Biden nexus is for a certain potential pipeline while being against another, there is in play "a piece of the action."
