Topics and program of the G7 Meeting
For the Italian presidency, the relationship with developing countries and emerging economies will be central. As Meloni has repeatedly underlined, attention to Africa is a priority, both for the issue of migration, but above all for the issue of energy.
The false independence from Russian methane gas and LNG is leading us to invest in unsustainable and already "stranded assets" LNG, given that the Biden administration will no longer supply us with LNG and the Mattei Plan to obtain LNG from African countries is very unrealistic. The meeting of the European Gas Conference from 22 to 25 March in Vienna will be crucial, in which the ENTSOG (the methane gas transport and distribution companies in Europe) have already proposed the annual review of the prices of all European gas supply contracts, opening the way to possible temporary price speculation which will be immediately reflected in the bills of European consumers, also for supplies with medium-long term contracts via gas pipelines. We have seen the consequences with the speculations of 2022 with prices increasing tenfold in one year (from €30/MWh to over 300 MWh) for games on the Amsterdam TTF. It will become the norm from now on, according to them....
Another scam: we can no longer talk about methane, but only green hydrogen, i.e. carbon neutral: new gas pipelines will no longer be financed, but only hydrogen pipelines: i.e. gas pipelines that will also transport hydrogen at 5 - 10%. And so the methane turns green because a little hydrogen is added.
In the last one, the 6. PCI List, with the exception of the Eastmed gas pipeline, a gift to Israel, and to Melita, the Gela Malta gas pipeline, justified by the fact that after 50 years the Maltese also have the right to have methane in their kitchens, there can be no more methane pipelines among the infrastructures to be financed with EIB and EBRD money. And hydrogen pipelines have proliferated, methane pipelines disguised in green for small percentages of hydrogens in the mix, such as the SoutH2 which should transport the green H2 produced in the North African deserts via electrolysis, which abound in solar energy, but not in water, through the TransMed to Sicily and then on the normal Tyrrhenian gas pipelines to Austria and Germany. The SNAM Adriatic line under construction from Sulmona to Minerbio, Bologna is called "network improvement" because it should offer an alternative route to this gas from the over-trafficked Tyrrhenian line with SoutH2... New gas pipelines for gas traffic not justified by the large drop of consumption in the last two years. But the Government aims to become a European "gas hub", justifying many new useless, harmful and expensive infrastructures.
And it is serious that the climate emergency and the climate actions of the big 7 are not among the main topics, but it is a topic that will only be addressed in the ministerial meeting in Turin at the end of April.
Beyond G7: the 21 ministerial meetings
The themes of the G7 in Borgo Egnazia: only wars and devastation. And the climate emergency and the 2030 and 2050 targets are missing from the topics.
Migrations occur either due to hunger, but more often due to wars and persecution in the countries of origin. As a consequence of the hoarding of a country's resources, in line with the old "colonialism" perpetuated in recent centuries by the "developed" countries, now the G7.
Most wars along the world are fought to control energy sources: see the war in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya, in Armenia, perhaps in Gaza, or to control energy transport infrastructures, as in Ukraine, in Afghanistan , in Nagorno Kabarakh.
Wars and food safety
Conquer water sources and territories to be used for industrial cultivation. The lands of the "third world" have always been used by corporations to colonize territories for monocultures, exploiting local communities, see the Benettons with the Mapuche as an example. And then there are GMOs, synthetic meats.
