Gordon Smith (6 Jan 2011) "'Leviathan' contains enormous amount
of natural gas"  shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for
they shall suck of the  'Leviathan' contains enormous amount of
natural gas Last Wednesday, results from electrical log tests of
the offshore Leviathan field northwest of the port of Haifa
confirmed a natural gas reserve containing 16 trillion feet of
gas. This makes it, the largest of its kind discovered in the
world in the last decade, with the potential to make Israel a
natural gas exporting nation. The worth of the finding is
estimated to exceed $45 billion, and will further strengthen the
already booming Israeli economy which has increased its gross
domestic product with 4.5 percent from a year ago. Uzi Landau,
Minister of National Infrastructure called the discovery "the
most important piece of energy news since the founding of the
state" and added that the greatest earnings for the discovery
would be felt by the citizens of Israel.
