Yesterday, at the southern Turkish Port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean Sea, the 1,087-mile Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) crude- oil pipeline will be inaugurated at an official ceremony with the presidents of Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan in attendance. This historic event marks the culmination of a major U.S. foreign policy effort to connect the Mediterranean with the heretofore landlocked but energy-rich Caspian Sea. Since the discovery of sizable hydrocarbon reserves in the Caspian Sea, a fundamental premise of U.S. energy policy has been the uninterrupted transportation of the Caspian's 80 billion barrels of oil to international markets, thereby diversifying world energy supplies and easing Western reliance on Middle East crude supplies. The new pipeline is the linchpin of this policy b...

Not a word about the fact that the US had 130 military advisors in Georgia, had trained and equipped the Georgian military, and is pushing for Georgia to be admitted into NATO. Nothing about US oil interests in the region, including the construction of the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline bypassing Russia. Nothing about the general encirclement of Russia since the end of the Cold War, with Georgia only the latest example. Nothing about the missile defense treaty pushed through with Poland days after the Georgian conflict. In other words, there is no sense of cause and effect here.

The fire sale of a taxpayer-backed ethanol plant in Georgia and the collapse of a California maker of solar panels despite $535million in federal loan guarantees and the generous government subsidies intended to lure reluctant motorists into electric vehicles show that alternative fuels are no easy answer to American energy needs. Certainly they are no immediate answers. For the foreseeable future, we're stuck with oil, gas and, for power generation, coal. For consumer purposes, the first two have proven and efficient distribution systems. And that's why the Obama administration should approve the proposed 1,700-mile Keystone XL pipeline from western Canada to the Gulf Coast.
