Pssst, quiet. don't tell CFK. This is something else that she can steal. Nail everything you own down or the Peronists will take it all.

Argentine shale deposits are 'dirty' gas - pollution & high cost.

Billions (?) of investment needed - which Argentina can hardly afford.

Involvement in trade with the arab world is more important than keeping happy a provincial Governor.

But the quid pro quo for the gas deal is? Selling off more of Argentina to foreigners?
