Cold-stricken Europe is drawing a flotilla of U.S. liquefied natural gas cargoes amid an energy crisis that has sent gas prices to record levels.
Facing a winter shortage and little relief from the continent’s main supplier Russia, natural gas in Northwest Europe is trading for about $57.54 per million British thermal units, up almost a third from a week earlier. That’s roughly $24 higher than Asian prices and more than 14 times higher than gas being sold on U.S. benchmark Henry Hub.

The U.S. might as well have a giant-sized Kick Me sign on the back.
If I were China or Russia or the deep state wanting to false flag the Russians....
this would be the PERFECT TARGET!
Come on! Isn’t this good news?
We’re not giving it away to them. It’s going there because that’s who’s willing to pay through the nose for it right now. Europe’s lack of vision is US capitalism’s gain.
Since I was in grade school man made climate change was/is going to destroy the planet.
I think by now the world has ended a dozen times.
Somehow I missed it.
Fear for control.
Now they are using Covid.
that is true
but have you considered what happens to our costs when supply is diminished?
You gotta realize, Mother earth is going to benefit from all
those Europeans freezing this winter. Hope Gretta does her
part.
It is for the US Gas Companies they are getting a max price over seas while buying gas here in America for lower prices.
Greta probably heading for the Caribbean on her sailing yacht.
I'm betting we are.
one more reason for the eurotrash to hate us...
Why don’t they just bottle up some electricity and ship to Europe. /sarc
I’m hoping I croak before the Dems make me go all electric.
Screw them. They won’t appreciate it. Hell, they probably won’t even know where it came from.
Doesn’t the sun shine or the wind blow in Europe?
Europe Braces For Energy Crunch As Deep Freeze Sets In
Bloomberg
December 19, 2021
Europe is bracing for energy shortages this week as freezing weather is set to boost demand at a time supply just can’t keep up.
Temperatures are forecast to fall below zero degrees Celsius in several European capitals this week, straining electricity grids already coping with low wind speeds and severe nuclear outages in France. To make matters worse, Russia signaled it intends to keep natural gas flows through a major transit route to Germany limited on Monday after capping supplies over the weekend.
Energy prices have spiraled out of control this year, with European gas prices surging some 600%. As temperatures are forecast to briefly dip below seasonal norms at the start of the week, short-term electricity prices surged. In France, power for delivery on Monday rallied to the highest level since a rare spike in 2009, while Germany prices were the third highest on record.

I'm not endorsing the practice, just making an observation.
