"potentially volatile political climate in Kazakhstan? REALLY? "
this comment was made recently on the article, the reason i had put that it in, was for the following reasons. The country is run pretty much by the President Nursultan Nazarbayev who isn't known for his human rights or his tranparancy, there has been hints in recent months about how long this project is taking and the governments displeasure as it should be an important revnue of funding, the export routes are all currently controlled either in part or totaly by the Russian Government, it is located in the Caspian Sea which is still disputed by all countries bordering it on where the boundaries lie and it sits surrounded by some pretty unstable countries Uzbekistan,Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.
Now perhaps this wouldn't effect a smaller project but since its running into the high billions now its pretty risky and even more so considering where it is. Philbentley 15:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
