Minor Note About Greece -- Absolutely Nothing About the Bakken

In addition to all its other problems, it turns out Greece is not able to get the natural gas it needs to fend off this cold winter. (Yes, global warming: don't get me started.)
Greece is currently the only European country without a connection to the European grid, leaving it isolated and vulnerable to situations of disruption of supply.
The fix: to reverse pipeline flow, to move natural gas from North Africa to Italy to Greece. Yeah, like that will happen any time soon. I assume the parties reversing and supplying the natural gas would like to be paid. 


And not part of the European grid? Exactly how long has Greece had to work on this issue? 150 years? Of if WWII interrupted their plans, it's been 60+ years. 


Actually, Greece probably never needed natural gas to heat their homes until global warming.
