Noticed via N-TV this afternoon.....Green Party Chancellor Candidate here in Germany (Baerbock)....a standing that is fairly harsh on the Nord Stream II pipe.
For those who haven't watched this whole pipe discussion.....a brief talk. For years, Germany has bought around 35-percent of its gas via the Russians. It comes via one pipe from southern Russia, through the Ukraine and Romania (eastern Europe). A new pipe route was designed....coming via the north (the Baltic region) toward northern Germany. Trump? He got into the middle of this, and delayed. With Trump gone, it started back up.
Well....Baerbock said today that she'd stop the gas flow if eastern Europe is treated unfairly.
Now, so far....no one has asked her where the 35-percent of natural gas will come from.....if her actions created a 'mess'.
The Russians? Well....they intend to operate still the old pipe, but they want full pricing from the eastern European folks.
Baerbock's knowledge level on natural gas use in Germany? It might be time to ask her some questions.
