What do you think will be the geopolitical consequences of the Transafrican Energy Corridor? It will deliver between 8 and 16 million barrels per day of oil equivalent biofuels to Port Sudan.

Governments in Africa will become less stable as money comes in.

Arms sales to Africa will increase.

A source of biofuel will go to the U.S., Europe, China, and India, thus permitting some continuation of the easy-motoring lifestyle.

Biofuel will be more lucrative than food crops, so the less affluent locals will be forced to take jobs in sweatshop factories. Corporations will seek out cheap labor, and will start outsourcing to Africa instead of China.

So, if it works out, I'll live well and make money. As will the rest of the developed world.
