It's interesting that his blog is not currently accessible.

That's because your url was mixed up.

http://ec.europa.eu/commission_barroso/piebalgs/http://blogs.ec.europa.e...

Notice that you have two instances of "http:" there. It's actually two links rolled into one.

The first link is to his main page. Going to his page there and clicking on "blog" gives the mixed-up link you posted.

The second half of the double link is his actual blog, with the latest post 2008-11-11, in which he speaks of the "Southern Corridor" of natural gas supplies to the EU as part of the "diversification policy".

When you first hear the words "diversification policy" from an Energy Commissioner, you might be tempted to think that it means using a diverse range of energy resources - coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind, and so on. And in this article in which he defines "diversification", that seems to be part of it.

But it turns out from both those articles that in practice it actually has nothing to do with renewables or nuclear, but, "Russia has us by the balls with gas, we should try to make sure they don't have us by the throat, too." Which of course is what the recent Russia-Georgia war and the EU's inaction over it were all about, as I have written before.

Best to try just one link at a time. :-o
