Tiny correction
Reader comment on item: Cyprus Joins the Middle East
Submitted by Renos (Cyprus), Apr 6, 2014 at 20:02
"The current estimate of 5 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas as well as some oil has a value estimated at US$800 billion".
Alas, 5 tcf of gas is worth a mere $50 bn. Perhaps if we find 50 tcf in all 13 blocs, then we'll be talking of the Sheikdom of Cyprus.

Daniel Pipes replies:
Hardly a tiny correction! My figures come directly from the Cypriot authorities. I have rechecked with them and am told that the "5 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas as well as some oil and has a value estimated at US$600 billion to US$800 billion." So, the above is correct.
