Europe to Boost Security of Oil and Gas Supply

"Cooperation must take place with the producer countries and the transit 
countries with regard to the storage of oil and gas. "In this connection,
the 
dialogue between the EU and Russia is the first model of its kind," de 
Palacio said. 
According to the International Energy Agency, Russia represents nearly 40 
percent of proven gas reserves in the world within reasonable distance of
the 
European Union. 
Some analysts suggest that together, the United States, Europe, and Russia 
could help to diversify the global energy supply by creating a global 
strategic petroleum reserve filled with oil from Russia and other Caspian 
Basin nations. 
"Such a move would mitigate U.S. and European dependence on Middle East oil 
and help to stabilize world oil prices," according to David Goldwyn, 
president of Goldwyn International Strategies, an international consulting 
firm, and an International Policy Scholar at the EastWest Institute. He was
a 
U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy for International Affairs under
President 
Bill Clinton."

"
The good news is that scientists at our national energy labs believe the 
Geiger counter could be improved to detect nuclear devices 40 to 50 feet 
away. This super-Geiger counter should be installed on every crane that
loads 
or unloads a container of cargo bound for the United States, and above
every 
toll booth that trucks pass under at the Mexican and Canadian borders. 
Senator John Warner and I have introduced legislation to develop and 
eventually install such devices. We are attempting to add it to the
homeland 
security legislation now being debated by the Sena
