Good for Gazprom.  The professional Russia haters in the UK should wake up and smell the coffee.  

Also, it would be quite fair for Russia to change its own regulations and kick BP out.  Why are acquisitions by UK firms acceptable in Russia but not vice versa.

Off grid?  I'd say that if my state and federal government are going to subsidize cheap electric power, I should take advantage of it.

My electric bill is just $15/mo, it's not like I'm a hog.
