France is a Basel signatory, but its courts have ruled that, because the Clemenceau is "war equipment," they have no jurisdiction to rule whether or not it qualifies as waste. Indian Environment Minister Thiru A. Raja insisted last week that "ships that contain asbestos as part of their structure do not violate the Basel Convention."

The U.S. Interior Department last week opened for exploration 389,000 acres of Alaskan tundra and shoreline, which officials estimate may contain 3.5 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas. Yet that's a pittance compared with the 22.3 trillion cu. ft. that the U.S. consumed in 2004. And two projects to transport gas from Alaska's North Slope and Canadian territories are in the works.
