Good for the US. Good for Russia. Bad for Europe. But at least they will feel good about themselves.
Europe’s dominating and impractical green energy policies combined with their anti-nuclear, anti-coal (even though coal continues to dominate electrical energy production because of renewable energy failures), anti-shale, etc. positions have resulted in the EU and its economy becoming a prisoner of and incredibly dependent upon foreign energy providers and unable to establish control of their own energy and economic destiny.
At the present time Germany, the economic driving engine of the EU, has become dependent on Russian supplied natural gas and this dependence is set to grow even more so in the future.
Germany is heavily lobbying for the building of a 10 billion euro second major natural gas pipeline, known as the Nord Stream 2, to significantly increase the amount of Russian natural gas that can be imported directly from Siberia.
Germany already receives about 40% of the gas it consumes from Russia and this figure will likely increase to over 50% by 2025.
