Energy Security for the World, by V. V. Putin

I feel obligated to post this article penned by Vladimir Vladimirovich himself. This blog is, after all, supposed to cover some aspects of Russia.

I always find it interesting to read about the conclusions that leaders draw about energy. Of course, I do get suspicious with his use of the word "stakeholders" when speaking about energy. Each one of us are stakeholders in the game global energy. In my experience, leaders who use stakeholders really intend that word to convey an image of something kind and gentle even though it is just a synonym for shareholders.

However, the article does say what we all want to hear, i.e. the most powerful among us are looking out for all of us. Do you believe it? Should you believe it?
