Know will be more expensive and infrastructure is not in place but isn’t russia cutting off their nose regarding income from gas? Free Market to take up slack? As am suggesting will be more expensive but people do want to stay warm so will not the markets of Poland, Ukraine, Europe prepare to keep their people warm this winter or is the whole planet broke and no nation truly has any money? All these nations need is to go to work (is my opinion) and the bear called russia can be told to eat their gas. Is this not possible for the coming winter?
Looks like they are one step ahead of that.
After more than a decade of negotiations, China and Russia have agreed to a natural gas deal worth about $400 billion that represents a major step not only in global energy markets but also in geopolitics...
Insufficient infrastructure for any other market to take up the slack this year/winter.
