I know of one on the West coast that will be shipping gas to Japan. Where’s the other? The biggie will be Cove Point in MD. The underground piping and the pipelines are already in place. That’s the one that will put Putin in Depends for the rest of his life.
...”one that will put Putin in Depends for the rest of his life”....
Putin’s already been three steps ahead of all these sanctions no matter how far they go...Made a deal with China who will buy if the prices change or Ukraine shuts his pipelines down...also while all eyes were on Ukraine, Putin made an oil deal in S. America and another in Africa.
Remember, Putin himself makes all the oil deal decisions so he’s ahead of this game currently.
The Oligarchs moved their money long ago to other nations favorable to Putin....so the EU might be biting their nose off if they go too far...he’ll just cut them off entire.
I understand that shipping gas overseas is a painstaking ordeal and far more difficult and costly then understood by most. perhaps what would be accomplished is not so much a lesser price to Europe and Japan...but less dependence on Russia worth the risk of shipping.
Regardless Putin will not lay down his lust for Oil and resources to and from other nations...He knows “Pipelines” hard wire political relationships and link countries....which give him leverage we see playing out now.
As is known, and Putin himself stated....”Whoever controls production, distribution and pricing of oil controls power.”
