The Cabinet on Sunday announced it has decided to move ahead with the first phase of a project to desalinate Red Sea water and save the shrinking Dead Sea.
#merci @rumor, je suis cette affaire de très près, possible mission de terrain l’année prochaine (en attente de la confirmation et du financement du projet d’étude) qui ferai suite à l’initiative environnement et sécurité de l’OSCE (juin 2012) à Amman.

Environment and Security Issues in the Southern Mediterranean Region
The Mediterranean Region has been identified as one of the most vulnerable areas in terms of environment and security linkages. Due to its climatic and topographic features, as well as the cross-boundary dimension of the Mediterranean Basin, intermixed with cultural, political and economic diversity, the region represents an area that poses potential for social and political instability, with repercussions that also affect European countries. Furthermore, energy security is an important element on the political and economic agenda of the Southern Mediterranean countries, who are not only important exporters of oil and natural gas, but have also vast potential with regard to the development of renewable energy sources, thus affecting future energy security policies in the region and beyond.
j’avoue ne plus très bien comprendre les évolutions de ce projet. Une analyse détaillée est bien nécessaire.
Sur le volet énergie, j’ai écrit un article à paraître prochainement sur les hésitations jordaniennes entre renouvelables et nucléaire... sans parler des schistes bitumineux : ▻http://www.oxfordbusinessgroup.com/economic_updates/jordan-high-hopes-oil-shale-potential . Je te tiendrai au courant.
