18355 - Strategic reminders for the incompetent, and not them alone
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
people who denied the fact, saying that at the very best the revenues will start coming in, in decades, and more specifically they were talking about our great-grandchildren.
When the Tamar reserve was discovered back in 2009, and then passed on to the stage of marketability in 2013, we could then prove that all the previous were merely gas bubbles of irrelevance.
Because quite simply, there couldn’t be four generations in four years.
Otherwise there would be a solution to the Greek demographic issue.
Now that the oil prices are at a low, other irrelevant ones appear forming two categories.
The first is trying to convince us that we ought to cry daily because the fuel price fell.
The weird thing of the matter is, that we are not hydrocarbon producers, therefore we are buying everything, and our homeland spends billions into importing oil and natural gas.
In actual fact this reduction suits us perfectly at this stage of time, because we are currently merely consumers.
The second category is trying to convince us that it was not necessary to issue the twenty marine plots, as it’s not worthwhile finally because the oil prices are low.
Again this is odd because, at present, we are talking about a waiting period of four years from the time that the marketable reserve will be discovered.
It’s clearly visible in the case of the Aphrodite reserve which was discovered back in December 2011.
Consequently, these statements are merely indicative of the associated irrelevance, because they confuse the time data.
The Greek EEZ constitutes a matter of high strategy and not partisanly disorder.
Here, we are talking about our homeland which is one and only.
We should therefore focus on our values, and rely on the specialized knowledge of people such as S. Kasinis, E. Conophagos and A. Foskolos, and not to result in verbalism just so we can show that we are actually doing something.
Because the Greek nation is not a mass and it doesn’t forget.
