Now, if we just start exporting really significant amounts of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) in in pressurized cryogenic tankers to provide an alternate source of energy to the Europeans, that would put a bigger crimp in the Russian Federation than any other single sanction or embargo ever could.
The Germans could also help their own case tremendously by applying fracking techniques for extraction purposes on their own territory. But of course, their own “environmentalists” would do everything they could to prevent this common-sense solution from being applied.
How about starting construction of thorium-powered molten-salt reactors for electric power, to displace “fossil-fuel” plants? These have a much, much smaller “radioactivity” footprint than the uranium-powered nuclear reactors.
Too bad the US can’t export B.S. we have an abundance of that coming out of the White House. The trade deficit would be gone within weeks.
