US turns down Pakistan’s demand for LNG supply

Bhai India is a very lucrative market in certain elements and our politicians are not the only ones with investments in India.

@Oscar - care to chip in?

No. But I was wondering from RoI and Safety of Investment prism.
Yes, India is a lucrative market with global investments but you have to keep a few things in mind.

*and these are just random thoughts*
1. Politicians(at least of South Asia) never make an honest buck, their companies are essentially run by getting favoured(read: bribed) contracts.
2. A Pakistani politician's company is hardly likely to get any kind of favoured treatment
3. If it is known that the company is owned by a Pakistani, in case of (very frequent) deterioration of relations, the company would suffer.
Why would they subject their finances to all of that?

Your view?

Bhai India is a very lucrative market in certain elements and our politicians are not the only ones with investments in India.

Scratch that,I just realized - simple solution to all problem- benaami investments remove all problems and the politician would make money without the hassles..

We should try to develop our own shale gas reserves. The estimates of technically recoverable shale in Pakistan have jumped from 52 TCF in 2009 to 105 TCF in 2013.

Multiple reasons. I am sure you can come up with them on your own.

None actually. Like i said the last thing we need is for our energy supplies to be coming from India.

It is like saying...Lets make a "HYBRID" "Ghadda (daunkey.dunkey/donkey). Lets put in some wheels and make him run - -

Meaning although energy projects are crucial for an economy to grow and sustain - Focusing on energy projects only is a disaster. It needs a coherent and simultaneous effort of providing people with education and focusing on the energy needs...Those educated people will find solutions for themselves. This consequently means a vibrant socio economic structure.

For example, Nuclear power plants, solar panels and so on. Someone felt the need. People made it.

Pakistan needs to cut itself off from US, because staying with US has only caused unlimited trouble for Pakistan.

None happening . Maybe Afghanistan or Iran are more feasible .
