October Issue of the International Resource Journal Now Online

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 2013) - George Media Inc. is pleased to announce that the October issue of The International Resource Journal is now available online at http://www.internationalresourcejournal.com/E-MAG/2013/Oct/IRJ.php.

In this issue, we turn our sights to the Middle East - not to look at oil & gas as you might expect, but to look at the growth of renewable energy in the region and its potentially transformative power. In a truly eye-opening interview with Dr Nasser Saidi of the Clean Energy Business Council, we learn how the renewable energy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region - despite the region's global advantage in solar power - is being held back by massive and ultimately destructive fossil fuel subsidies. The region's future rests on the energy choices it makes today.

We explore the subject further by speaking to a UAE-based company developing economically viable solar systems for the Middle East, and examining how simpler, cheaper technologies are making the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy easier than ever before. Our risk spotlight looks at the situation in Iran, several months after electing a new president and with the Syrian civil war raging on its doorstep. A new section entitled Analysis & Advice includes insights from resource industry experts on essential subjects and topical issues.

All of that is in addition to our monthly pick of features on enterprising resources explorers, developers, producers, suppliers, contractors, service providers and campaigners from across the globe.
