Yes, we got our first hard frost here is Wisconsin last night. But I’m sick with a head cold so the flowers can just wilt away; too cold to deal with it while under the weather...
I don’t recognize him, either.
Germany is also talking about ending their fracking ban
Europe is finally waking up to the new reality and getting serious
Temporary old boy.
We are in the middle of an adjustment, which is working. Hence decreasing prices.
There is no excuse to be tied to the Russian tit. It is insane.
When was that?
Don't you mean "When will that happen?" It will never happen with total dependence on LNG shipments from America. LNG requires far more infrastructure investment and costs when does pipeline natural gas.
Sorry crocodile, relying on LNG from America is too expensive for Europe to be an industrial power.
Mercedes Benz has a plant in Alabama. They’ll just expand it if there are sales to be had and producing in Germany is too expensive.
Its from Game of Thrones. The motto of his house is
Winter is Coming
but America doesn’t play delivery games or arbitrarily change the contract terms (e.g. forcing euros to rubles) like Russia does
maybe Europe is just tired of Russia’s constant games & unreliability?
The United States became the world’s largest LNG exporter in the first half of 2022
The United States became the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter during the first half of 2022.....
Exactly, deindustrialization of Germany.
.
There is a whole world of gas out there, and plenty of sources, lots of which can be piped. There will be a proper glut, I predict, by sometime next year.
Spain uses LNG, thats why its expanding its terminals and pipeline connections to France. Spain is not on the Russian tit. And so on.
This will blow over. Nordstream and all that was a truly stupid episode, getting tied to a monopoly source. And such a source.
Lucky for now—but its not November yet. The end of the year will make for a poor Christmas and a bloody one as all the “Newcomers” begin to suffer and take it out on the “greedy Europeans” in their cities. Why buy gas when its so easy to jack a car?
While my personal COG [Cost of Gas] nearly tripled.
I'm America First.
You're America Last, out of hibernation.
The EuroPeeings can clean up their own mess, thank you very much.
Especially now, with infrastructure become Fair Game... 
As for those quacking about "arbitrarily changed the contract terms", I would say that deploying sanctions to seize any Euros "paid" for natural gas supply [in effect stealing the natgas] is "arbitrarily changing the contract terms".
I'll type reeeaaaallll slow, so that the Canadian readers can understand that particular point.
Russia isn’t a reliable supplier
it is what it is
btw even if this war ended tomorrow, Europe isn’t going back to funding their enemy ... that’s idiotic
Russia will have its European revenues *permanently* reduced from now on ... get used to it
