German 'Dependence' on Russia?

 I sat and watched a piece by N-TV (commercial news here in Germany) this after noon.

So, things have changed in the past month.

Natural gas?  At beginning of 2022...Russia supplied 50-percent roughly of natural gas that Germany needed.  Presently, the amount is down to around 35 percent.

Oil?  Beginning of 2022....Germany was typically getting around 35-percent.  Now, it's down to about 12-percent.

Coal?  It was way up to around 50-percent at beginning of 2022.....now down to 8-percent.

Add to this.....lot of effort being done by port of Hamburg, to bring in a floating LNG terminal 'boat' by 1 January.  If that occurs, and the ship deliveries start up?  You might see another 10 to 15 percent cut by mid-spring 2023.
