Yup, learned that in the last major Russian gas cuttoff in the mid 2000s.
Remember that? Remember how it made it obvious how dependent we were on Russian gas?
The European Response: Build NS2, South Stream And Turkstream to go around Ukraine. Because that was the problem…
Country with gas fields is less dependent on gas imports.
Sure but it’s because 50% of the gas they use is produced domestically.
The rest of Europe could produce gas too but drilling for gas is super taboo in Europe, instead they like to be held hostage by Russia or ship it in on big dirty polluting shops from the US or middle east.
Holy shit, it would take Europe 3 years to recover if the gas was shut off tomorrow.
