Despite the 8 minutes or so of rambling introduction, the show was quite interesting, and highlights the disparity between those interested in making a fast shekel for their own pockets, and those committed to the autonomy of Israel in the area of energy independence. Of course there is a lot at stake in a conversion to natural gas for national use as opposed to exporting and depleting over a period of 25 years. For one thing, there is the need for the monopolies to consider the well being of the nation, and there is the potential of lost tax revenues which currently are 50% of the cost of petrol to the consumer.
