South Korean FlagOn August 27 South Korea's President Lee Myung Bak announced a bold plan to "significantly reduce the nation's dependency on fossil fuels" and at the minimum, quadruple the use of renewable energy by the year 2030. In this paradigm shift, South Korea's plans include increasing the use of renewable energy sources by an average of 38 times the current level, the construction of 10 new nuclear power plants, a massive increase in the nation's oil self-sufficiency, a boost in the development and production of fuel-cell cars, and improved energy efficiency grading systems for both the public and private sectors.

Russia says it's capable of annihilating NATO's Black Sea ships within 20 min!!
Russian President Dmitry MedvedevOn August 28, 2008 Russia's General of Staff stated that "Despite the apparent strength, the NATO naval group in the Black Sea is not battle-worthy," adding that Russia's Black Sea Fleet is capable of destroying NATO's fleet "within 20 minutes". Rising tensions between the US and Russia have diverted most of our attention to the Georgia/Russia conflict despite the fact that tensions are still incredibly high in the oil-rich Black Sea. For some time, US ally Turkey has been conducting extensive research with BP to explore the possibility of investing great sums of money within the region in its pursuit for greater energy independence. Security within the region is obviously a high priority.
