The EU’s energy classification saga continues…

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60229199

With no sight of a consensus on what constitutes “green energy” the matter has gotten to a laughable stagnation effectively tying not only Cyprus but everyone’s hands!

...the threat is real; e.g. Ukraine. Commercial viability, as well as ideology, both have their importance in considering energy transportation.

...let's not forget that Erdogan poses the same threat as Putin, because he is an autocratic leader that is militarily bent in a state of expansion.

...European security demands more choices, more costly perhaps but a better value.

If Turkey recognises Cyprus all energy deals on table

...most encouraging.

What with the Problem now in the Ukraine, a solution may be found there.

I can imagine a BBF, for Ukainians, that Mr. Erdogan may emulate in his own Constitutional reforms, and that Cypriots may accept for themselves as well. Indeed Ukrainians will be Free in such a State, where as Individuals they are equal without further discrimination or distinction, undivided as a People, not "Ukrainians" and "Russians", while as Persons, at another level of government, they may nurture their distinct identities in Goodwill, as Majorities, by providing in Goodfaith for the Minorities that live among them their special needs in such an Agenda accordingly.

...for a country torn apart, a country tearing apart, and a country being torn apart; the gas, in all of this, may force these players to look at their intentions differently, in effect to get what they want.

...what is a BBF? Canada comes to mind, (the EU, although it is only at its advent,) and so too the USA which was the very first; it is something to think about...

Let's not forget that it was Mr. Erdogan who linked Cyprus' gas to the Problem, (no gas without a solution), and let's also remember Mr. Putin's ire in the Ukraine started with gas (long before the Crimea). Indeed, gas, the issue of power over it, in the Ukraine can also be linked to their Problem as well.

What with Turkey's Centennial in two years, Peace at Home, is a welcome notion in Turkey, too. Such Constitutional reform, Turkey a State, a BBF, which within it contains Constituencies so that as Persons, these Citizens may demonstrate through their self-representation the same commitment toward Universal Principles, bodes well for Mr. Erdogan's legacy.

The problem with the Problem is that it is still expanding and it is not limited to Cyprus alone.

...such as it is, a solution to the Problem is what is needed; this gas flowing freely in a reasoned manner.

...and then Anastasiades' extraordinary offer.

Eni, TotalEnergies Start Drilling Offshore Cyprus

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News ... yprus.html

Block 6 is not in Turkey’s claimed EEZ, but announcements of discoveries or drilling plans outside the EEZ in the past have prompted Turkish action.

In early 2018, after Eni and Total announced the Calypso discovery in Block 6, Turkish military vessels blocked an Eni drill ship that was en route to Block 3, inside the EEZ.

McPhie also underlined that “the deployment of gas resources from the Eastern Mediterranean is an important part of our diversification strategy that we’re working on at the moment.” He explained the trilateral memorandum could potentially increase volumes delivered to the EU from about 5 billion cubic meters today to 7 bcm by the end of the year, and double those volumes going forward. On the potential for gas imports to Cyprus, McPhie said the floating storage and regasification unit in Vassiliko is expected to become operational next year, with a potential capacity of around 2 bcm.
