Environmentalist groups in Germany and the Netherlands are challenging plans for a new gas field in the North Sea, a German non-profit organisation said on Friday, possibly complicating Europe's hunt for alternatives to Russian fuel.

Environmental Action Germany (DUH) said it had filed the lawsuit with the Court of Justice in The Hague together with Dutch organisation Mobilisation for the Environment (MOB) and a citizens' initiative from the coastal region of East Frisia.

Privately-owned Dutch company ONE-Dyas has been given the go-ahead by Dutch authorities to develop its N05-A gas field in the North Sea, straddling German and Dutch waters, with gas production also planned at surrounding fields.

The platform will run entirely on wind energy, according to the company.

It hopes to start delivering natural gas to Dutch and German households by the end of 2024, with an expected potential of around 13 billion cubic metres of gas.

LOL...that is absolutely the most absurd, asinine thing I've ever heard.

“Environmentalist groups in Germany and the Netherlands are challenging plans for a new gas field in the North Sea”

And I’ll bet the Greeniacs have plenty gas for their limos, electricity for their mansions and plenty of food to eat.

I would imagine that the legal structure is essentially the same as ours, that the legislatures of the countries could strip the courts of jurisdiction to hear the cases. If all governments weren’t in the thrall of the anthropogenic climate change fairytale, that’s what we would see happen.

This will be problematic - because unicorns are an endangered species.
There is no way to replace all of that potential North Sea gas
with unicorn farts.

Ain't gonna work. Nope....

The results of losing the best of their gene pool in World War II is becoming painfully apparent. The Netherlands is now governed by lunatics who reflect what their people now are. They are dismantling and destroying their food and energy supplies. The neo pagan, hedonistic people support this government. Any rational people left there ought to get out quick. The same is true through most of the western EU which dominates policy. Soon the migratory hordes will be in control. The US must never again shed blood or treasure on their behalf.

I don’t know about DeSantis, but if Trump makes it to the White House again, he’ll simply cut Europe loose and let them deal with their Leftists the way they did in the 20th century.

So what if there is an emergency and no wind is blowing

Like a fire....and no electricity to work the fire pumps

Or a blow out condition...and no electricity to work the Blow Out Protector valves....resulting in a massive oil leak

At least 3 big diesel driven power units

Drilling pipe stem
Draw works
Auxiliary power
