>European countries use 400 BN cubic meters of natural gas on an annual basis >330 BN cubic meters of those are being imported >160-170 BN cubic meters comes from Russia >the question is wheter somebody, someone, some country, some economic actor is able to offer 160-170 BN cumic meters of gas overnight to Europe >we have heard that president Biden made a commitment, but the news are about 15 BN cubic meters youtube.com/watch?v=5R01R8hvGIg
Also I would like to explain why Hungary is in a fucked situation and how everyone is lying about this diversification shitshow. 85% of natural gas and 65% of oil supply comes from Russia. We wanted to diversify our supply since forever but the international "partners" are not doing their part. The Nabucco pipeline (Turkey-Austria) was an alternative to russian gasprom gas, however, the construction of the pipeline depended on the decision of the Shah Deniz Consortium(British Petrol), which decided in June 2013 in favor of another project, the Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). Gas fields have been found in Romania under the Black Sea. Exxon in the US and OMV in Austria have been granted the right to extract, because these companies have spent a great deal on exploring the gas fields. They need a gas pipeline from Romania to Austria but they don't have the regulatory framework to start (they are not willing to start). Same is true of the US-designed liquified natural gas LNG terminal in Croatia. The yankees wanted us to depend on Russian gas because 80% of russian gas import came through Ukraine (basically Ukraine's economy was based on this gas tranzit fee and their illegal way to tap the pipe and steal gas from the other countries, one of the main reason why Germany started to build Nord stream 2 pipelien which bypassed Poland and Ukraine). Now the same "partners' are pointing their fingers on us because we are blocking the gas-oil sanctions against Russian energy. (which would put Europe on a recession for years)
Well, our governments are already letting us know that freezing and starving for Ukraine/climate change/LGBT rights in Timbuktu is the right thing to do. That should give a taste of which direction we're heading towards.

Dont ask how much oil is spent by those big ships that transport lpg.
Daniel Smith
we do actually know how to make energy dude

Very long trains last night with brand new pressurized tanker cars.
No rain over a month now, this country is turning into a desert.

There is only one way for Europe to become energy independent - go full out renewable / nuclear and invest into new technology like that fuse reactor in France. Too bad germcucks are afraid of nuclear power and are sabotaging it... For now Europe will most likely build multiple LNG gas ports and start importing it from USA / Middle east
Austin Martinez
Not my problem
Anthony Reed
>Too bad germcucks are afraid of nuclear power and are sabotaging it That's only half true. They are sabotaging, but not out of fear. They do it because Gazprom pais them
Lincoln Rodriguez
renewables cannot power an entire country, nevermind a continent. They are too circumstance dependent. For nuclear you'd still be largely relying on russian uranium imports since there is nowhere near enough in Europe and certainly not enough concentration for economies of scale to be a factor. Europe being energy independent and having a modern life standard is a complete pipe dream peddled by grifting politicians that have ties to energy companies
Joshua Sanchez
There is no way that we can float the needed gas to Europe We would need a massive new fleet of LNG tankers, more LNG export terminals, and maybe half a dozen major new pipelines across the US to feed the gas to the terminals. It would take six years with a Manhattan Project-tier level of support from the government.
Actually it is, Spain food deficit is comparable to Qatar
Brandon Ross
The biggest issue with renewable is that energy production is random depending on the weather and one thing that might help is new battery technology to store excess power but ye for now depending on renewable is not an option, until your renewable is hydropower then it's pretty much steady. And as for uranium from what i know Russia is not the only exporter, France for example gets it from it's ex colonies in western Sahara
