China would be happy to buy the gas, and the pipeline there will be complete by summer.
“China would be happy to buy the gas, and the pipeline there will be complete by summer.”
Also, as Germany has learned, it will take almost a decade to get themselves off of Russian gas, even if the Enviros would let them.
They have been trying to build more storage for two years now, and have yet to start due to enviro-nut lawsuits.
I doubt it. There is an oil pipeline from Siberia to China but the ‘Power of Siberia’ pipe for gas isn’t due to be completed for 4 or 5 years. On top of that, the gas that will be transported via the pipeline come from separate fields from those used to supply Europe.
And, just to be clear, the reason for the delay in the construction of the pipeline is that China flatly refuses to pay what the Europeans pay for their gas. I hardly see them picking up any slack if Europe starts cutting back on Russian gas.
