Russia currently gets €400m (£340m) per day from gas sales to the EU.
Bonkers, and we think boycotting Burger King is making a difference lol
Germany warns of a recession if Russian gas is turned off. Time for renewables?
- like rassa is the only gas station in the world.********
- the thing is, once we cut the russian gas, it's forever.
Germany announced they will try to cut it by the end of the year and it's irreversible******** - so yes, seems they get a lot of money now, but thats the last money they're getting probably ever from Europe and they don't sell anything else********
- Without that gas, Germany turns into Mad Max. Europe don't have the infrastructure to import enough LNG to replace RUS supply.monNom
- Current LNG terminals are already at capacity. Proposed terminals in the past few years have been voted down.monNom
- And it's not just heat/electricity that gas is needed for. Nitrogen fertilizer = gas. Diesel fuel process needs hydrogen from gas. Glyphosphate = gas.monNom
- Losing 30-40% of gas means critical things for food production don't get made, or people freeze, or the lights go off. Not a great choice.monNom
- Without fertilizer or herbicide, food production falls in half or worse. So it truly is a situation where Germany would cut off its nose to spite its face.monNom
- Yeah, if only we could ask Ukraine for all that as they would replace Russia...oh wait********
- Doubt they could match the capacity. Especially if the Russians disrupt things.********
- This entire conflict is about Ukraine replacing Russia as supplier to EU!********
- The entire idea of EU politics after WW2 is trade! We were fools thinking trading with Russia will turn that shitty country into a more pacified shithole....********
- ...now simply rectified that mistake and sure, take the short therm L for the long term security********
- like rassa is the only gas station in the world.
