...involvement in the daily life of our gas sector," Milov wrote in a Russian biweekly, Novaya Gazeta. "I felt that Putin personally handled a great deal of what Gazprom's ceo was supposed to do." Such confusion of roles finds its echo in Europe's approach to Russia. A green paper published by the European Commission in March called for a common external energy policy to coordinate relations with Russia and opec, but that quickly ran into objections from E.U. governments which want to make energy policy themselves.

It?s investing big money - $8 billion over the next decade - on renewable fuels, such as wind...
...finger at BP and call its environmentally conscious image campaign a greenwash? If nothing else, the company?s mishaps or missteps suggest that its activities merit more scrutiny from consumers and regulators alike. While hard to quantify, BP may well be reaping untold sales as a result of its green image, as consumers choose its gas over Exxon?s, whose image is still tainted by the Valdez disaster...
