O que é este blog?

Este blog trata basicamente de ideias, se possível inteligentes, para pessoas inteligentes. Ele também se ocupa de ideias aplicadas à política, em especial à política econômica. Ele constitui uma tentativa de manter um pensamento crítico e independente sobre livros, sobre questões culturais em geral, focando numa discussão bem informada sobre temas de relações internacionais e de política externa do Brasil.

Energia: a visao americana, e a visao russa; falta a chinesa, a brasileira e a da Europa...

Por acaso, chegam dois relatórios sobre energia no mesmo dia, um informado pelo Wilson Weekly, o boletim semanal do Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies, o outro pelo magazine Russia Direct.
Ainda não li nenhum dos relatórios, mas vou procurar obter o dos EUA, que me parece mais confiável, pelos dados, do que o de Russia Direct (a despeito dos consultores contratados para fazer o relatório), uma vez que o setor de energia é o exemplo típico da capitalismo promíscuo (ou claramente mafioso) que vigora nas terras do czar.

"In doing this quadrennial energy review, what has come into much sharper focus is the question of not just the energy infrastructure----the pipes and wires that move electricity or fuels--but also what we might term the shared infrastructure that moves many, many commodities including energy," said Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.

    Russian Energy Sector: Beyond Sanctions
    By Natasha Udensiva, Marat Terterov, Ben McPherson,   Ka-ho Yu

    The report offers a look at the current state of the Russian energy sector and includes an overview of Russia's energy ambitions in Europe and Asia. The issue also contains a commentary from the Russian Ministry of Energy explaining the government’s position on the most pressing issues and sheds some light on what to expect in 2015.

    The bite of sanctions, falling oil prices and Europe’s yearning for energy independence have forced Russia to look for new business models, new markets and new customers. The question is how Russia’s much-touted pivot to Asia will impact the prospects of Russia’s energy sector.
