I fear could indeed signal preparatory events for the use of tactical nukes in Ukraine.

Russia is a brutal regime.

It is the safest means by which to transport energy product. It is safer than rail. It is safer than vehicle. It is safer than by water.

Everything you use, everything you are wearing, your clothes, your shoes, your glasses, your phone, your iPad, the vehicle you got here in, the plane you flew here on, all of that requires petrochemical products and energy that is drawn…

It is not all huge companies, you understand? You could put a small hole in the ground, it could be a $10, $12 million project.
