This whole scenario including the blast of the North Stream pipeline was to get leverage over the EU. Beside getting rich of course. Again, who did North Stream ? And don't come with the lame excuse Ukraine. They never had the capabilities to do this. More than a ton TNT was used at at least two locations. In water depths of around 80m. Death zone for divers only doable with professional gear and training. How about Navy Seals ?

The reason we don't refine our own gasoline for self sufficiency is because the entirety of Canada uses the same amount of fuel as Texas alone. There isn't any money in refining our own fuel because Canada doesn't use a drop compared to the USA. And American producers can make it cheaper with cheaper US labour, so they would never end up buying any surplus from us, so we would either have refineries that are operating under capacity always as a matter of need, or we would have too little and still need to import.

Most of the US LNG deliveries to the EU is fracked gas which is the dirtiest energy source after coal. But Biden just tries to hurt Texas because of the border dispute and in the hope to win elections. The argument not to buy Russian gas lost it's purpose, Putin has no problem continuing war production, he is outproducing the West. So, why bother with US LNG? It is more polluting and way more expensive. May I remind that it was EU leaders who canceled affordable long term Russian gas contracts in favor of short term gas contracts, months before Putin started to limit gas deliveries to the EU. EU weaponized our energy. EU leaders took the decision to deny their citizens and industries affordable energy, hence the rise of extreme right.

@picklethepirate no I thought it was a Baltic state or Poland that did it at first until facts were revealed. Use your brain for once, if the US wanted to stop it, they could have imposed sanctions just like they did before to shut it down. This isn't a hard concept.

First pause export, then negotiation, then price adjustment, finally a generous price increase for the very nice Germans who will pay happily and obediently, so glad they don't have to rely on the Russians anymore 😂😂😂.

We are not seeing more extreme weather events. Statistically they are less, not more.

Isn't this a much smaller case than blowing up the pipe ? Why angry ?

The strategy is to reduce dependence on cheap Russian energy and to increase dependence on expensive US LNG. Good Business.

US LNG industries don't need money? I think it's fine for their competitors. There are many other suppliers, since it is a global market, prices will increase for everyone. Even Putin should thank Biden, because the higher profits for LNG helps Ruzzia to keep the war going. In addition, the pipelines from Russia through Ukraine and through Poland are still operational (and used by silent beauties like Austria and Hungary). And, to be honest, fracking ruins the environment, methane is no fun for climate.

You are totally correct. Very hard to explain something to a person who lacks a wider understanding of issues.

New U.S. permits are on pause, but no one is talking about revoking existing export permits, or stopping new LNG export projects that have been permitted and are currently being built-out. Also, U.S. fossil fuel companies have tremendous political power in the U.S., and there's just no way that American LNG exports will dry up. In the words of Taylor Swift, "you need to calm down!"

@@kashmirha European storage was filled very quickly even while some US export terminals were down. More export terminals are being built, so there should be no problem at all. And the pause has an explicit exemption to allow additional permits should an emergency situation occur. The pause is all about updating the permitting regulations for future projects, regulations that were last updated during the Trump administration - which likely meant the permits were exceptionally industry friendly with little protections for everyone else. The industry has shown that it is happy to pollute, including near where people live, as without regulation it will take whatever actions maximize profits. We see that with the earthquakes in Oklahoma - not their problem. And they are happy to quickly close their companies once their profits are secured so that they can avoid cleanup expenses.

Most of the US LNG deliveries to the EU is fracked gas which is the dirtiest energy source after coal. But Biden just tries to hurt Texas because of the border dispute and in the hope to win elections. The argument not to buy Russian gas lost it's purpose, Putin has no problem continuing war production, he is outproducing the West. So, why bother with US LNG? It is more polluting and way more expensive. May I remind that it was EU leaders who canceled affordable long term Russian gas contracts in favor of short term gas contracts, months before Putin started to limit gas deliveries to the EU. EU weaponized our energy. EU leaders took the decision to deny their citizens and industries affordable energy, hence the rise of extreme right.

The Nord Stream pipelines were already effectively scrap metal before the Russians blew them up. First Putin tried, and failed, energy blackmail against Europe. Now we don't need Russian fossil gas, and never will, as we are transitioning away from fossil fuels. And we are even oversupplied with LNG as this pause is not for terminals already under construction.

Exactly! Germany has gotten cheap gas from Russia for decades, then used that to close all their nuclear, and invest trillions into low productivity solar in a climate that isn't conducive of it. I have a German friend who said "there's a strong antinuclear culture in Germany, so it's not an option". I said 'true, but what's easier to change: thermodynamics or culture?' Until Germany starts considering its geography and energy prices and follows France's example for standardized, affordable nuclear, it will be in continual energy dependence and crisis. I wish solar and wind could fill that gap, but it just can't in such a densely populated, industrialized, low coast, low-sun country. Every other country needs to do this same math as well; nuclear is needed everywhere for low emission energy, but it's most acute in Germany.

Bet they wish they didn’t turn off all their nuclear reactors

Russian gas used to cover 40% of EU gas consumption; not 40% of EU energy mix.

"The pause will have no immediate effect on U.S. gas supplies to Europe or Asia, she said. Seven LNG terminals are currently operating in the U.S., mostly in Louisiana and Texas, with up to five more expected to come online in the next few years. Biden's action would not affect those projects, but could delay a dozen or more LNG projects that are pending or in various stages of planning. That includes the Calcasieu Pass 2 project, or CP2, along Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. If built, CP2 would be the largest export terminal in the United States."

Is there something lacking in German’s ability to think strategically? Australia has always been the world’s most reliable and cost effective supplier of LNG. Why is it that Germany prefers to pay much higher spot prices for Australian LNG than contracting with it for cheaper and consistent supplies?

Germany has been a net export country of electricity for over 20 years, from 2002 to 2022. Only recently we had to import marginal amounts, which is completely fine, as others do it all the time. And we build 4-5 wind turbines a day, every day, and 30 football fields of solar panels every day, so soon we'll export again.

@@TrendyStone No, until we shut down our nuclear power plants. Now we are more or less self-sufficient with minimal imports from time to time. As far as I know, oil has never been used to generate electricity in Germany. Natural gas is only used to generate electricity at times of peak demand. We have never had a problem with electricity. Our problem was that gas is used extensively for heating in private households. Nuclear power plants are useless for heating homes with gas heating, aren't they? Now households are switching more and more to heat pumps, whose electricity comes from more and more community-owned wind turbines and their own rooftop solar panels. We don't need monopolistic companies taking money out of our pockets to give to their shareholders. And we don't need a nationalized EDF that hides its debts and revenue losses behind tax subsidies instead of putting the true cost of electricity on the monthly bill.

For those who don't know; LNG is a "waste product" in the American energy industry. Selling it, especially to Europe, was never an early consideration for the enormous US energy market. Right now, given the worldwide interest, the American energy chiefs are considering how to market and monetize the American LNG market to a more normal produced market product. A huge energy and food crises is coming worldwide. Consider preparing. Justin Trudeau of Canada showed Scholz of Germany the huge undeveloped Canadian gas field in NE Canada. The Europeans led by Germany should make a deal to develop those fields for future secure supplies. Norwegian gas is not enough, and the African supplies cannot be considered too secure. The world is changing. Globalization is collapsing. Note to the wise, time for some forward planning.
