5.  Gas Powered
Rocky ,   US   (01.18.09)
Money for education, research, health care, infrastructure development, trains ...AND diplomatic economic power with gas exports as Europe and others demand it from Israel without having to deal with Russia and Arabia. Wonder if there is oil around the area also
6. Israel will become the most prosperous nation on earth.
Rivkah   (01.19.09)
Its agriculture, this natural gas find and other industries, possibly oil revenues in future discoveries, etc. will fulfill Bible predictions of God's plan for Israel.
7. Dirt cheap electricity! Electric cars!
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.19.09)
While the Arab countries choke on their oil pollution, Israel will breath clean air. Build those desalinization plants! Let Israel have plentiful fresh water! It's still very preliminary, but it's nice to imagine! Now we can only hope those companies don't just sell the gas to the highest bidder and Israel never sees any benefit from it. Israel may want to buy these companies if the gas is really there.
8. Oil and Gas industry

Norway has the leading expertrice you need to pull this Gas out. Search the net for industries that make this kind of equiment here in Norway.
