... but expect you heat and energy bill triple in the coming year.

@@alterbart7916Exactly, but you can't say they were not warned!

Seriously, with friends like the US, who needs enemies, right?

Hahahaha no more blackmail from the feudalist nation that makes nothing

For this drama... 😅Germany thought it was on the table with the empire, but still didn't realize it was also in the menu.

Thanks to american imperialism

All by design for USA

What do you care 🤔 you don't live in Europe 😅😅. You must be sad predictions said we would die of cold 🥶🥶 we have reserves full , prices are normal and life still goes on 😅😅 . Thanks for worrying , we're fine 👍 thanks

Probably Market Price, Einstein. Do you know how that works?

Cheaper then from Russland, Read, how many Germanys exports are in USA,

​@@Dani-mw2ws🥱🥱 After they blowed Up your pipeline?? Hey comrade when will Germany gain independence?? Become sovereign

Yeah this is news for the sake of clicks. As a American living Germany, I hope Germany gets its energy security in order. It is foolish to rely too much on any one country, Russia or US, as a source so have a nice mix of import sources and focus on building out the future.

Exactly! Well said!

😅😂😂😂😂

So sad you are so ignorant. The US LNG ban applies to any expansion after the current allowable expansion that is approved. That approved expansion covers any possible requirements by the EU and Japan together. Get yourself an education.

​@@TheGruntski I don't think you even understood the comment.

@@ih8foids932 You don't think....Period.

no

Some times you got to learn from mistake and move on. In this case FAST AS POSSIBLE.

They like lignite better.

Zee Germans pay double the price they did before (for the Russian LNG).

​@@DBGE001 It is pipeline and not LNG, so it was 4x cheaper.

@@Tabula_Rasa1JD Rockefeller was good at buying and selling Fossil Fuel Products. When someone was outselling Him, He would buy em out. Or force them out of business using any method. A lot like current US Gas Producer methods. They were only able to sell 20% of the European Gas Market before blowing up the Nordstream.

@@DBGE001 The extra cost means that Germans will not be paying a dictator who is attacking a European democracy, so it's a bargain.

Wake up EU, US is a super colonial. Their story changes by the year, NO ONE CAN/should ever believe what they are saying today will be their story tomorrow. Hint, Russia is a neighbor! Russia keeps honoring its contracts. The world watches EU, still stuck on some "post WW11 anxiety" drug. The world has moved on, Eu needs to follow. Your colonial times are over.

It still a ban.

Gee, I wonder why Germans don't want to buy things from Russia any more.

German economy is basically based on import of cheap oil and gas, raw materials, and upstream parts from China, and export of high value-added products. For now, Germany has been cut off cheap oil gas supply from Russia, thus the German energy-intensive industries suffer the most. Imagine if Germany loses the access to the China market - not only the cheap upstream parts, but also a 1.4 billion people market that the German products can sell to.

@@supergaga With which country do you have the most in common, legally, historically, culturally?

Russia had already halted supplies before that, but we should not let that get in the way of a good narrative, you know...

And the US blew up the nordstream pipeline.

@@unconventionalideas5683the US and UK blocked peace negotiations that would have ended the war while Ukraine had more territory and men below 40.

The logic of German Running away from dependency on Russian Gas to dependency on American Gas beats everyone's understanding. The German economy now has to be controlled from the US white house that has never wished any other country to have a stronger economy than own unlike Russia that was seeing Germans as equal partners in development and trade. America has always managed to contain Europe with the help of Europe! Funny and sad at once

​@@markfitzpatrick7186just remind us what Moscow's terms were 🙄

Not nearly as much can go wrong with The US supplying Europe LNG than what can go wrong with Russia supplying Natural gas to Europe.

Sorry buddy, when daddy talks, you have to listen, if not there are consequences.

That's funny. lol Then develop yours and Europe's military and uninvite them. Europe is 4 times the size of Russia, so stop being the sheep and become the wolf. Power respects power. Europe doesn't need US troops t just needs the will to be independent and the willingness to defend it. You're a part of the greatest willing collective of nations in history with the 2nd largest GDP. Everyone needs to drop their nationalism and think EU Collectivism. I'd vote for joining that, as opposed to being swallowed up slowly by the US. 🇨🇦 We're more politically and socially aligned with Europe but economically tied (exploited) to the US. They don't worry about running out of fossils because we can't use all we have and we 150 years worth of oil reserves and only one real export customer. Yeah we're number 3 in reserves and ahead of Russia. Let's make a deal.

@@DBGE001 Grow up!

You East Germans love RuSSia , you still miss Trabant, Lada und Moskwich cars,

Would you just stop making so much money selling us cars please.

Look at LNG prices. It's cheaper.

Freedom gas.

Not true, vatnik. Gas is cheap

@@znrctrnnmore like Freedumb gas.

​@@TheGruntski 😂😂 cope , the EU is buying gas that's 10 more expensive

They tried, but didnt like it. They prefer coal more.

They buy lots of nuclear power from France. Poland would be smart to build some powerplants too.

not enough talent there @@willw8011

@@willw8011France buys from Russia. France was getting it cheap from Africa (you know - colonial exploit deal).

The EU demands Australia complies with EU laws. This Aussie says the EU is on it's own. They can buy on our terms or none.

because the lawyers, special interest organizations, lobbyist, etc. etc. are still talking @@fspg3207

Or waiting for the price to go up...

Silly pumpkin. The amount of LNG expansion that has already been approved covers all possible EU and Japanese requirements.

Coal is more climate friendly. So easy choice

NATO is

They were warned multiple times, but never took it serious.

I'm not sure that Germany has a choice given its lack of oil and natural gas. And using more solar power might help but Chinese companies dominate production of solar panels.

@@geofflepper3207 The more reason you diversify. Get some gas from the Russian, some LNG from US/Qatar, Solar/Winds from China, Hydro from the Swiss, oil from ME and nuclear from the French or whoever.

@@geofflepper3207 somehow they managed to do just fine on synthetic oil and oil from romania before.

being reliant on foreign powers is what keeps pacifist (by choice) Germany from being invaded themselves.

When Ukraine joins the EU and Russia is finally forced back to their own land Europe should have enough LNG for the Industry so all you need to do is to get everything else working with an other source like renewable. Like put 10 solar panels on every house and then invest on windmills, even if making a temporary gas that then can be used as energy source is "wasteful" its better than adding CO2 or being dependent on outside sources. As Russia was only a trusted partner for a small time, so is USA. When it comes to "milking the cow or slaughtering it" USA is one of the most greedy. What was done to the nuclear energy was done and is very hard to undo but my point is that you need to stop taking the cheapest option and get your own system.

Using methane natural gas for another 20 - 30 more years, would doom us pushing the earth over the tipping point of catastrophic climate disruption

Well, Russia not only uses the barbaric technology of hydraulic fracturing like the United States, Russia produces a considerable part of its gas using the same drilling, which is much more environmentally friendly than hydraulic fracturing. In addition, to liquefy gas you need to spend a colossal amount of electricity, and transportation by gas tanker costs money; it is much cheaper to put gas through a gas pipeline. And the conflict in Eastern Europe was started between the two largest gas exporters, the United States and Russia for the European market, the United States raised the price of $1,000 for its LNG, but since Europe entered into cheap contracts for gas supplies from Russia, the United States decided to stir up a hornet’s nest.

@@Homo_Sapiens8bln thats exactly what I said. God loves Russia, so he gave it easily accessible resources and blessed it with environment loving societies in close neighbourhood so that a piece of pipe will do and not much technological advancement is necessary to ride.

Net zero and energy transition stuff doesn't apply in the U.S.. We as a nation won't transitioning away from fossil fuels.

@@Wolfcamp555Sure you will. For starters, biofuel will be another excuse to subsidise corn growers. Synfuel and ammonia will also power combustion engines just fine. The energy transition will also be a great excuse to invest billions in nuclear expansion. It's important to understand that you don't need to be a vegan pacifist to achieve net zero.

And guard it against the Americans.

Germany isn't going to do business with Russia anymore because of the war,and the influence Russia would have over Germany.

16 Feb 2024 - Biden paused approvals for LNG exports last month as his administration looked to revise environmental and economic impacts of the industry..

we tried that already, and russia cut the gasflow to Germany a month before the pipeline was damaged. Russia is not a reliable supplier. That is why Norway has become Germany's main supplier, they have 3 pipelines to Germany already.

@@thegreatdane3627 Might that have had something to do with the economic blitzkrieg that we attempted?

😂😂😂

Just be honest and say that you have no understanding of the situation. It explains the juvenile comment.

why would anyone want to depend on russian energy ever again? Not even china wants more russian gas, they still haven't approved power of siberia 2...

@thegreatdane3627 Arrr, China is buying more and more Petroleum product (incl Gas) from Ru every day. Are the statistics incorrect???

Haha, that would be a downgrade in terms of the constitution. The German one is about two centuries more advanced.

What do you dig in your country 😏😏 we secured supply with other partners 😉

🔨

Don't be so pessimistic, the German new Northsea wind turbine park will ensure the equivalence of 75 big nuclear powerplants, the project is ongoing and will be 50% completed by 2030 and fully by 2050.

Your statement dont make sense. Germany is an industrial powerhouse because it lacks natural resources?

Yes, the US occupied Germany (for good reason at the time), and never left, even when the need was no longer there to stay. The US citizens can cry all they want about the EU, but they can't let it go either. Can't leave their lovely bases. If only it could practice what it preaches.

Sometimes I feel like russia is a satellite state of china.

@@thegreatdane3627 That's not true, China wanted a railway passing through Ukraine to Europe in their BRI. Only the shipping route remains, which might be cut off too if the middle east conflict worsens. It's like all recent events target China's trade routes mysteriously.

@@YouReadMyName to be fair, russia is probably more like a gas station to china than a sattelite state...

we see how europeans freak out at the thought of US leaving NATO. They fear a return of the iron curtain@@Iris-hx6ox

Who will quadruple Germany's military ?

so how's that pacifism still working out for you Germans

There are environmental activists who are hypocritical with personal activities that don't match their words but you won't be fine without them because getting rid of them won't change the fact that humans are drastically changing the world in a number of ways and there will be severe consequences from that. 2023 was the warmest year in history and data from this February is expected to show that it was the warmest February in history. It seems that humans have already lost the battle to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels and humans are still pumping lots of CO2 into the atmosphere so things are going to get a lot worse. It's already effecting people. Try to get home insurance in Florida and you'll find that it's very expensive and difficult to get because as businesses insurance companies can't afford to pretend that climate change isn't happening - any insurance company in Florida which pretends that climate change isn't happening will go bankrupt.

Oh, that is right, harsh reality. No roads, no modern houses, ... What it is to be green.

Do you think the USA will attack and try to annex territory from a European democracy?

Norway is Germany's main supplier now, they have 3 pipelines to Germany already.

Hahaha good, no more blackmail

you should see the Russian oil drilling sites.....

Not a fan of natural wild life, are ya ??
