Fracking won’t get them out of this. Takes too long to explore, do the engineering, drill, etc.
LNG will certainly tide them over. There is a massive wave of LNG incoming.
Add - coal, electric imports (everyone in Europe who can, is scrambling to increase generation to fill German demand).
LNG has become a comical joke. They admit that one ship load of LNG (first expected in mid-to-end of Dec)...will cover about 75-percent of what would flow through Nord Stream I in a single day. Even if the other suppliers take up some slack, you’d have to have a LNG ship docking every single day.
LNG is about 5 times the cost of cheap plentiful pipeline gas. At least until Poland and the CIA blow up the pipeline!
You forgot firewood, and peat. Lol
It will take time to fix no doubt. They’ve been completely idiotic about energy policy thanks to their Gaia Worship for decades.
But they need to mine coal, drill and frack and start building LNG terminals and nuclear power plants just as fast as they can RIGHT NOW. The sooner they drop their illusions and get to building some practical solutions, the sooner they can get out of this mess.
