FORMER energy minister Stuart Young says Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal is wrong to suggest it is feasible to run a natural gas pipeline from Guyana or Suriname to Trinidad and Tobago without running that line through Venezuelan territorial waters.

Speaking to reporters outside the UWI South Campus in Debe on May 19, Moonilal said a pipeline from Suriname can bypass Venezuela's waters to reach TT.

"Throughout the world, pipelines are run through water, on land. It is quite common with international, commercial arrangements and international law to run a pipeline through other territorial waters belonging to several countries and on land."
