Same could be said of our country. We pay China probably trillions each year. They’ll eventually attack us.

That would raise our domestic prices.

My natgas bill, and your natgasbill.

LNG is not the best long-term option.

They’ll sell all their oil at a small discount. Which, a small discount against the current market price is still a very good price. Which is why sanctions will never be the kill shot they pretend it will be.

Sanctions are biting them but they have plenty of workarounds.

That’s also why Russia is not to blame for more than a temporary rise in price. The world supply of oil is still getting to market.

Contrary to the ‘happy talk’ from Reuters, my Norwegian cousins are very concerned about the Globalist Norwegian government who is draining their water reservoirs to supply electricity to Britain and Germany.

I could post many news reports about the issue. But will leave it to folks to look for themselves.

Yes, Norway produces a lot of oil and gas, but it will never fill the void created by Russia cutting off mainland Europe.

Russia doesn't need European markets to sell fossil fuel. It needs to be able to buy high-tech products and parts from Europe.

How about nat gas?

That would raise our domestic prices.

Your natgas bill and my natgas bill would go up.

There was the strike earlier this year, and then "maintenance issues", lately.

Only problem is, there is a shortage worldwide. UK has no NG to spare, because they plugged their wells. Norway is getting short because their baseline hydro is lagging in the current drought. Floating terminals are a stop gap solution and not enough for the coming winter. Yes if you want to pay 10x you can get gas, and that is what Eu is facing for the winter.

There was not one mention of price, or the price differential between piped gas and LNG in the article.

It's like reading something written by children.

The alternative is to get Uncle to return to oil production levels of two years ago. But the governments would all rather go to bust and famine than to play at saving the planet from CO2.

“Not a drop of American oil should go to Europe or anywhere.”

How about American made Boeing airplanes?

How about American made software?

How about American made satellites?

Perhaps Europe should convert to heating oil as much as possible.
