Pipelines and Energy

Gal Luft, director at the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) cautions the U.S. to curb its enthusiasm towards the Nabucco pipeline arguing that it served as Iran’s economic lifeline and would imperil American interests although it reduced European dependence on Russian gas. In an article for the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, “How to beat Iran’s pipeline strategy”, he also calls on the U.S. to cooperate with India on the development of a thorium nuclear fuel cycle.
