>Chancellor Scholz rules out changing course on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Baltic Sea. Even if the energy shortage worsens in the fall, the pipeline will remain out of service, a government spokesman stressed in Berlin. There would be tough months ahead, but the German government supports Ukraine and stands by the sanctions against Russia.
>As was announced on Monday, German gas storage facilities were filled to the highest level in almost two months on Friday, despite significantly reduced supply volumes from Russia.
>Meanwhile, several German states are pressing for more say in the Federal Network Agency’s planning for a possible gas shortage. Such a situation would have considerable economic and social repercussions, Hamburg’s First Mayor Tschentscher, for example, told Die Welt newspaper. The decision on rationing could therefore not be left to a federal authority alone. The knowledge of the federal states and the regional gas network operators is of great importance, he added. Government representatives from Berlin and Saarland expressed similar views.
Start dismantling it, that should shut up the ‘Germany just can’t wait to turn on NS2!!!’ crowd

Is there any chance of it being repurposed? Like for piping hydrogen between Germany and Estonia or something like that.
