“There is no capacity elsewhere to replace Russian energy.”
Not all of it overnight.
But much has already been replaced.
Russian oil and gas managers may have noticed that all the contracts and new investment go to their competitors. All of them.
It is just a matter of time.
The Russian government has proven itself to be evil, and untrustworthy with oil and gas supply, or revenue. They can’t be allowed to play with them anymore.
Russian energy will be/is being replaced as fast as physically possible, and cost is no object. The actions of the Putin regime are disgusting, and the free world will never accept them.
Ordinary Russians have no choice to replace their dictator in a fair election, so the whole country will have to be bled out to neutralize the threat that Putin’s government poses.
Are you talking to yourself? I mentioned a couple issues you failed they address.
Regarding trustworthiness, no business person shares your politicized opinion.
I am okay with Germany getting American gas for ten times the price when China is getting it for 1/10.
The energy cost is probably no object so far but it is going to get factored in the economy, giving away the competitive edge.
Mixing politics and economy is mightly communist and won’t end well. You guys are killing the ‘free world’. It is the thing of the past.
