\u00c9tat path\u00e9tique de la narrative<\/em> de BHO sur le gaz US<\/h4>\n

On ne sera pas vraiment surpris d’apprendre que les affirmations de l’\u00e9quipe BHO, Kerry & Cie sur la capacit\u00e9 des USA d’alimenter l’Europe en gaz si les Europ\u00e9ens \u00e9taient plac\u00e9s devant la rupture de l’alimentation en gaz russe dans le cadre de la crise ukrainienne en expansion explosive s’av\u00e8rent totalement mensong\u00e8res. (On pr\u00e9f\u00e8re ce terme \u00e0 fausses, qui impliquerait une erreur d’\u00e9valuation tant l’affirmation est bas\u00e9e sur des faits imm\u00e9diats, \u00e9vidents qui interdisent cette hypoth\u00e8se.) La narrative<\/em> avait d’ailleurs \u00e9t\u00e9 psalmodi\u00e9e par Obama-Yes he can<\/em> lors de la rencontre USA-UE \u00e0 Bruxelles, pour faire avancer les n\u00e9gociations sur le TTIP<\/a> \u00e0 l’avantage des USA, renfor\u00e7ant d’autant la th\u00e8se du mensonge (\u00abOnce we have a trade agreement in place, export licenses for projects for liquefied natural gas destined to Europe would be much easier, something that is obviously relevant in today’s geopolitical environment<\/em>\u00bb).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSur NSBC.me, le 9 avril 2014<\/a>, F. William Engdahl pulv\u00e9rise l’argument g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de la proposition US, notamment selon deux points essentiels. Le premier, qui est la confirmation de l’effondrement d’une autre narrative<\/em>, le mirage de la prospective formidable du gaz de schiste aux USA, n’est pas \u00e9trang\u00e8re \u00e0 nos lecteurs, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 notre contributeur Shalegas Gate<\/em> (voir le 11 janvier 2013<\/a>). Engdhal d\u00e9taille ses deux arguments…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abNumber one, the shale gas revolution in the USA has failed. The dramatic rise in US natural gas production from fracking or forcing gas out of shale rock formations is being abandoned by the largest energy companies like Shell and BP as uneconomical. Shell has just announced a huge reduction of its exposure to US shale gas development. Shell is selling its leases on some 700,000 acres of shale gas lands in the major shale gas areas of Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Kansas and says it may have to get rid of more to stop its shale gas losses. Shell’s CEO, Ben van Beurden stated, Financial performance there is frankly not acceptable some of our exploration bets have simply not worked out.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbA useful summary of the shale gas illusion comes from a recent analysis of the actual results of several years of shale gas extraction in the USA by veteran energy analyst David Hughes. He notes, Shale gas production has grown explosively to account for nearly 40 percent of US natural gas production. Nevertheless, production has been on a plateau since December 2011; eighty percent of shale gas production comes from five plays, several of which are in decline. The very high decline rates of shale gas wells require continuous inputs of capitalestimated at $42 billion per year to drill more than 7,000 wellsin order to maintain production. In comparison, the value of shale gas produced in 2012 was just $32.5 billion.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbSo Obama is either being lied to by his advisers on the true state of US shale gas supplies, or he is willfully lying. The former is most likely.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe second problem with the US offer of gas to the EU to replace Russian gas is the fact that it requires massive, costly infrastructure in the form of construction of new Liquified Natural Gas terminals that can handle the huge LNG supertankers to bring it to similar huge LNG terminal harbors in the EU.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe problem is that owing to various US laws on export of domestic energy and supply factors, there exist no operating LNG liquefaction terminals in the US. The only one now under construction is the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, owned by Cheniere Energy, where John Deutch, former CIA head, sits on the board. The problem with the Sabine Pass LNG terminal is that most of the gas has been pre-contracted to Korean, Indian and other Asian LNG customers, not to the EU.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe second problem is that even were a huge port capacity installed to satisfy EU gas needs to replace Russian supplies, that would push domestic natural-gas prices higher and cut short the mini-manufacturing boom fueled by abundant, cheap shale gas. The ultimate cost to EU consumers of US LNG would have to be far more than current Russian gas pipelined over Nord Stream or Ukraine. The next problem is that the specialized LNG supertankers do not exist to supply the EU market. All this takes years, including environmental approvals, construction time, perhaps seven years on average in best conditions.<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe EU has no realistic alternative to Russian gas. Germany, the largest economy, has foolishly decided to phase out nuclear power and its alternative energywind power and solaris an economic and political disaster with consumer electricity costs exploding even though alternatives are a tiny share of the total market. In short, the chimera of shutting Russian gas and turning on US gas instead is economic, energy and political nonsense.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t… Et l’on conviendra que le plus impressionnant dans ces observations de Engdhal, lorsqu’on les rapproche avec d’autres manifestations de communication de l’\u00e9quipe BHO, Kerry & Cie, c’est l’extraordinaire ligne du mensonge syst\u00e9matique qui caract\u00e9rise les interventions publiques US sur la situation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, essentiellement depuis la crise ukrainienne et \u00e0 propos de cette crise et de ses cons\u00e9quences. Il n’existe plus aucune pr\u00e9caution, plus aucun habillage, plus aucune construction, tant le mensonge qui devient une compl\u00e8te indiff\u00e9rence pour la v\u00e9rit\u00e9, ou pour la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 c’est selon, est d\u00e9bit\u00e9 sans aucune pr\u00e9caution ni le moindre souci de vraisemblance. Il va bient\u00f4t devenir probl\u00e9matique (mensonger dirions-nous pour agr\u00e9menter la circonstance) de parler de narrative<\/em>, parce qu’une narrative<\/em> demande tout de m\u00eame une certaine mise en sc\u00e8ne, une certaine technique de conteur, un effort de construction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
