| The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) reckons that some 60 BCM/y of associated gas are being flared in the oil heartlands of west Siberia alone. For British politicians and soldiers faced with the daunting challenge of bringing the rebellious American colonies to heel after 1775, one belief, above all others, came to offer a tantalizing hope of victory: that the Carolinas and Georgia were fundamentally Loyalist in sentiment, capable of providing a secure base from which royal troops could march north to roll up the rebel heartlands.
