Europe Looks to Alternative Sources for Energy

Russia's OAO Gazprom closed off all deliveries of gas to Europe via Ukraine on Wednesday, wreaking havoc on the economies of southeastern Europe and affecting gas supplies as far west as France and Germany. Thousands of households in Bulgaria were left without central heating, and industrial plants across the region were forced to reduce gas consumption, with some shuttering completely.
