Working for a private equity firm i can tell you that although it doesnt feel like that, it really does. Low rates allow people like us to buy up assets like crazy. It causes immense speculation that does cause prices to rise. The higher the rates the more the risk for companies to speculate.

@@hextech687 Nicely said

@@hextech687 Price rises(eg the super profits) in non discretionary areas are not hard assets. Those super profits are nothing more than blatant price gouging and are only minimally affected by interest rate rises. You have to destroy the poor and middle class before business greed is even touched.

Also considering that natural gas has far less (basically 1/2) the CO2 emissions then its a far better fuel than coal. I'm an engineer who has worked in gas plants. The basic process of cooling methane down to -170C isn't that hard. Its things like the pipe work, vales and sensors needed for handling cryogenic gas (what industry calls it) that you MUST use high quality materials for and have engineers and technicians who know what they are doing. Other than the obvious combustible nature of LNG there's the danger of getting instant frostbite but oddly the most significant threat is getting the LNG in water. If it leaks into water it literally explodes because water has the right conditions for the LNG to go from liquid to gas almost instantly. In air it just boils but in water that expansion is like an explosion.

Not sure I'd want to drive a nuclear car.

We are running over 45% on renewables. 131 Terawatts. So your facts, they suck and reveal the clear lack of your efforts.

@@synesthesiafilms Germany use lignite coal power plants to replace the nuclear power plants they shut down. Due to physics of the plant, these coal plants do not get shut down. On good solar days, Germany leaves these lignite plants running but disconnects the turbines (ref Peter Zeihan). The country then counts this as green energy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7-lbNWdzrqXdmg.html

The sanctions have failed (at least so far). The Russian economy hasn't collapsed and wont, because there's to many buyers for Russia's oil & gas and most importantly FOOD. You can put almost any sanction you like on any country you wont, but when it comes to food and energy politics becomes irrelevant to normal people. Look at Sri Lanka for example. Do you think they care about where their fuel comes from? Plus the Russians are making people pay in Rubles which has driven up the value of the Ruble.

@@tonywilson4713: I think you missed my point. Let me clarify. Mark said Russia is playing monopolist games with Germany by claiming pipeline maintenance, which limits distribution volume and even mentioned, vaguely, how Canada was involved. Sure, Russia might very well be putting the screws to Europe, but there was an issue with the turbine because of sanctions. Siemens is the company that won the contract for the mechanicals on the NordStream pipeline and the turbines did need to be replaced. But because the U.S., Canada and Germany are all sanctioning Russia, and the turbine was built in and shipped from Canada, there suddenly became an issue and delay as to how to deliver a turbine from a sanctioning country to be installed on a sanctioned pipeline. Mark glossed right over that point and pinned the reduction in gas flow solely on Russia being monopolistic.

@@Vanderearden I'm an engineer who's worked in oil & gas plants. I understand the technical argument quite well and AGREE with you on that side. We are actually coming at this from different perspectives. You're pointing out the maintenance aspects of the infrastructure which I understand quite well. I'm trying to point out that the sanctions are not working. I think Peter Zeihan has also made some very misguided claims on the maintenance of oil & gas wells in Russia's far east. He's technically right that if those wells freeze they will be damaged beyond repair. But he's also horribly wrong to think that the Russians haven't learned from the Americans how to take care of those wells. My actual point is that the sanctions aren't having the effect intended. The Russians have other markets to sell their oil & gas to as well as their wheat & barley. I think the Americans are misreading the situation both from what you've said and what I'm saying. At the end of it people in places like Sri Lanka don't care about where their fuel comes from. Others wont care where their food comes from. Others wont care about American exceptionalism.

@@tonywilson4713: I completely agree the sanctions aren't working on Russia as we were told they would. Of course, if part of the sanctions are meant to bilk more money from average citizens of sanctioning countries to the establishment, then they are wildly successful, as the just released 2Q corporate profits can attest. Having said that, these sanctions are a boomerang, as they always end up being, hurting the citizens of the sanctioning countries more than the citizens of the sanctioned countries. America has done this enough, that one would think that average Americans would've figured this scam out by now.

@@Vanderearden Not wrong there look how much the sanctions are either directly causing problems in the West or indirectly being blamed for causing problems in the West. America has been oil independent for almost a decade and has natural gas to export so how is Russian oil affecting gas prices at the pump?

And vice versa.
