Folks, if you read the article it is simply a technical discussion of HOW to make repairs to the damaged lines.
It avoided hysterical political discussions whether from the “Russia, Russia, Russia” side or from “the Great Reset is here” side. Some of us are interested in the engineering challenges posed by extreme situations.
Killings, destruction, wars and hysteria all end at some point. And then reconstruction and building can come.
Actually, shouldn’t the pipeline get shutdown because it is causing environmental damage? Where’s Greenpeace?
If they could get one of the three damaged sections back up, that would enable 50-55 bcm of natgas [annual] to bolster the European storage gas [added to the undamaged section].
Yup. As usual, so many people miss the point. The topic is repair, nothing else.
Yeah, I understand and get that.
So apparently, the smart as crap folks at MIT have nothing else better to do, at all, but delve into hypothetically repairing the Nordstream pipelines? Okie.
But yeah, given my cynicism, just has me thinking ‘why’, ‘who’, etc. /salute
Except, the only possible culprit the article mentions, is Russia.
President Biden said the U.S. would destroy the pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine.
Who did it? I do not know.
But the article clearly implies Russia did it, which seems pretty stupid.
