"American-backed plans to build a nearly 1,100-mile long oil pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean are about to go from what skeptics once called a 'pipe dream' to a reality. Trailing from Baku, Azerbaijan, through Georgia to the Turkish seaport of Ceyhan, British energy giant BP will bring the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline on line this month [May 2005]. One of the longest oil routes in the world, it's expected to pump 1-million barrels of oil a day by 2010." (ST. PETERSBURG TIMES) The author considers the fate of the BTC pipeline as she evaluates the potential success or failure of the project.
