EU has definitely decided not to import. Since Nordstream 2 is fully ready. And it’s even filled with gas to the brim. But EU won’t approve it for political reasons. Mostly because the US had meddled with it to gain an advantage and provide their own expensive gas via shipping tankers.
The US for years desperately tried to convince the EU to rid themselves of Russian energy dependency. Angela Merkel, Germany, and the EU made their bed. It’s comical to now blame this situation on the US.
The US has no such desire or even capacity to supply Europe with liquid natural gas. Nor does Europe have capacity to receive it. The goal was, always has been, and still is for the EU to have energy independence.
That can only be accomplished by the EU pumping their own gas and oil, building their own nuclear power plants, etc.
There is no lack of natural resources in Europe. Just a lack of planning, and an excess of unrealistic green ideology.
What about it? This was after the energy crisis in Europe, not before. The quantities are so small it doesn’t even qualify as a stopgap. The US literally doesn’t have the capacity to supply Europe. Europe literally doesn’t have the infrastructure to receive LNG supplies. I seriously don’t even know what you’re on about here.
It’s ironic to think that Europeans suspected ulterior motives from the US and so you literally cozied up to the fucking Russians. Europeans really know how to pick winners.
