The big picture in all of this tough transition of Europe's natural gas supply, is that Russia is a huge loser, and America is a big winner. The hardest transition will be this Winter, less so next Winter, and then it is done - likely for a decade or more.

The Freeport LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) export terminal is scheduled to re-open in October (20% of US export capacity), starting small and ramping up capacity.

Since this article was published, German gas storage has increased to almost 80%, which is their minimum target for the Winter. They have been injecting about 1/2 of a percent (0.5%) of their capacity per day. Europe overall is in

Wait until this Winter, biggest home heating crisis on record. It’s not the lack of preparation or Biden’s anti-energy policies, it’s....climate change.

America has won nothing and will continue to lose as long as we have unelected criminals colluding with WEF criminals.

What transition are you talking about? Gazprom is flush with cash.

Henry Hub is at 9.20 per mmBtu.

That's roughly 90 cents a therm for the US consumer - nearly triple the cost a year ago.

How is that winning?

I suppose if you're Joe Biteme, Kammy the Airhead or Humpher Biden, it's all peachy, because the US taxpeasants are splashing out to cover THEIR bills...

Yes, this has been great for pipeline companies which are yielding 7-8%, midstreams, and mineral rights payments on gas wells are up 400% from 2 years ago.

Ride the wave, winter is coming.

BeauBo Please tell us about how great it is that totalitarian Big Tech in America is censoring any news that does not tie the party line. We are not being allowed to hear or say the truth online except in forums like FR and the a lot of d-bag Freepers on FR that are perfectly happy with it. Are you?

With super high natural gas prices and Russia being the biggest exporter of natural gas, with winter fast approaching? And the huge China/India natural gas/oil markets eager for Russoan oil/natural gas?

the biggest casualty in this conflict?

Russia’s reputations (yes, plural)

NOTE THAT - before Feb. 23rd, 2022 -

- Russia was thought of as a country interested in peace; so much so, that there was even talk of disbanding NATO, since it wouldn’t be needed anymore!

- Russia was thought of as a civilized country, well-behaved and respectful of its neighbors like any other in Europe

- Russia was thought of as a reliable supplier of gas; so much so that Germany could get rid of all its nuclear and coal-fired power plants!

- the Russian military was thought of as large, well-organized, and efficient - something to be feared

NOBODY believes these lies anymore ... thinking that had been well-embedded for years has been upended in less than 6 months ...

brilliant move, Russia!!

I remember this site for “Peak Oil”. Politics is the source of our shortages worldwide. Buyden sold us out by closing pipe lines, reneging on drilling permits, states like Comirado shutting down crude industry. If Canada released the Russian compressor production would be way up. Our lives are almost totally controlled.

Germany started down this path in 2005. I was furious and could see what was coming 17 years ago. Schroeder was SPD, the socialist party. Sad thing Dummycrat voters are as stupid as German voters were and are.

In Oregon, NW Natural has just applied for a 36% rate increase in natural gas.

WTI crude is down to a little over $90. It’s late summer, and gasoline prices are down. Not bad so far. We’ll see. I’m guessing that Europe will get through winter okay.
