Is that deranged-looking man Bill Maher? An A-class nutter if I ever saw one.
I once read an article discussing the use of LNG in various European countries as related to reducing overall carbon footprint. At one point the author of the article basically suggested that to reduce carbon pollution everyone will just have to stop taking hot showers and heating their homes. :laugh:
Some people are just laughable. Progress is progress is progress.

"A key part of ensuring secure and affordable supplies of energy to Europeans involves diversifying supply routes. This includes identifying and building new routes that decrease the dependence of EU countries on a single supplier of natural gas and other energy resources."

You'll find that whilst you speak of over-reliance on the Ukraine route there's plans to vastly reduce the reliance on a single supply source ..
1 new route opening soon that will supply southern EU states inc .. Greece ...within a year ...NOT from that source

Well good luck to both russia and america. To combat global warming netherlands is stopping all use of gas. Both pumping and exporting the north sea and using for cooking and heating
Yea a 25 per cent tax on German cars will help the US government's balance of payments. Maybe this will be good for everybody.

What are they going to use, if not gas? Perhaps geothermal energy for heating and electric heating elements in ovens? Just curious.
Our Moby is possibly referring to the TANAP pipeline which was inaugurated in June this year, however, he missed out a couple of important facts about this pipeline.
1, Initially, and for the first few years, it will only supply Turkey with gas.
2, The pipeline between Turkey and Greece is currently incomplete and will most likely not be completed for another 2 years.
3, The South stream pipeline from Russia to Turkey is itself planned to connect into the TANAP pipeline at the Turkish hub.
4, Gazprom have ownership of all the gas from Azerbaijan Shah field (which is at this time the only supplier into the pipeline) for the first few years to pay off the debt for field exploration and bringing the field into production..
To move onto the Ukraine pipeline, its license to transit gas is up for renewal in 2019, and without substantial upgrading at an estimated cost of $14billion, i.e. a virtual complete rebuild, its chances of being safely re-licensed is in doubt, added to which, the cost of transiting overland is far higher than underseas transit..
The US cannot supply LNG, even today, but if and when the cost will be very expensive comparing with the Gas that Russia supply to Germany and other countries.
U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas Exports Just Quadrupled
Last year Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned natural gas company, provided
some 40 percent of Europe’s gas needs. Gazprom produced 16.6 trillion
cubic feet of gas.
By comparison, America produced almost 27 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
in 2017 and, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, is on
track to produce 43 trillion cubic feet of natural gas by 2050.

Quite pleased to be a part of this industry; natural gas will continue to play a major role in meeting our nation's energy needs for at least the next 75 − 100 years.
There are numerous articles of the United States shipping gas (LNG) via ship to Europe but there are so many hazards and issues that I doubt this will happen any time soon.[/font][/size]

Liquid Natural Gas, (LNG), is a bit more complicated than what I upthread indicated.
Most likely Lithuania had little choice but use LNG.
It seems the United States is exporting LNG, but mostly Westward. It seems one of the primary exports ports is Cove Point, in Maryland. This though is a challenging location. I suspect someone is going to do have to serious research to understand the issue and dynamics.
My guess for US exports it depends on the price over the medium term to long term.

Really? That's surprising to me... never would've guessed!
Here's a Wiki article on LNG carriers. I've never even seen one of these ships before.

So Trump left the Paris climate accord for that reason.

There were a thousand reasons for the USA to leave the Paris climate accord.
..and not one of them was valid ..
