Energy independence is South America’s big dream

Aiming to leverage their huge natural gas reserves, leaders across South America are talking about building a network of pipelines stretching thousands of kilometres to feed demand and wean themselves from being so dependent on big U.S. and European energy companies.

But their show of brotherhood could backfire if this expensive dream becomes reality, since the network they hope to build would also likely turn the continent’s neighbours against each other as they compete for clients.
