    1. That’s right. A comment on the FT article links to this graph:
      // Unbelievably poor journalism from the FT, which I presumed was a respectable source.
      LNG imports accounted for ~10% of EU gas imports from Russia.
      Piped gas (which accounted for 90% of the imports) went down by 75%.
      Moreover you can see that LNG imports naturally fluctuate around the same amount for years, no idea why it’s such a big news now.
      Will the FT report that “EU imports of Russian LNG decrease by 40%” in a few months?

        1. “you and Colon ”

          Lol, dizzy is on the record calling me a “Nazi”, I typically refer to him as “leftist douchebag” and yet apparently we’re “spiking the ball” together. Ok then, carry on the russian rag with vatnik pride.

          1. Show me that record. I’ve never called anyone a Nazi & those proudly call themselves that would have been among the first to be terminated by the real Nazis.
            Reacting to some of your invective I do recall suggesting that you must have been
            “weaned on a Polish pickle”
            But we’re on the same side in this war.

          2. I am very certain you have called me a Nazi when I roasted some idiot who was defending BLM. You were actually impressed with the creativity of my invective despite me being a Nazi or a fascist. That’s why it stuck in my memory.

    3. “Does the significance of this against the massive drop in EU energy imports from russia needs to rebuked again? ”

      I get it now…English is your second language, isn’t it?

      1. Well indeed it is, and still it is better than yours. You’re a man of many limitations Freddie from BBC.

    4. COLON DORK
      yup, the EU replaced some of that oil with supplies from India.
      Now guess were India gets the oil to replace the oil they ship to europe , from Russia, and they can now pay in their own Rupee. Effing idiot!

      1. Ok, pay attention now. You have two options:

        Option 1: You sell a lot of oil to EU directly and for an unregulated price. EU pays you in dollars or euros.

        Option 2: You sell a lot less oil to India who give you the controlled price more or less and then they sell it to EU with a premium. India pays you in rupee.

        When you are the original seller, which option is better? You may ponder the answer to this question for a while, but not too much.

    1. Because refusing to supply Europe meant, of course, that Europe would cease using fossil fuels and permit its citizens to freeze to death, an important step down the road to “Saving the Planet.”

    2. Never underestimate the rancid stupidity of Katie Telford and her hand-puppet Justatwit. Everything from them is about short term virtue-signaling.

    3. US took the most of it, the rest fell mainly to Algeria and Qatar. The contracts they are signing with EU tend to be at least decade long. So even if the war ended and russia was allowed again among the civilized (that is a big if), the signed contracts will be binding and the infrastructure once regeared towards new suppliers will be unlikely to turn back. Russia is FUBAR.

      1. Russia is FUBAR.

        You really that stupid? or do you have help with that, maybe cghCOLON lives next door to you!

  5. The EU is importing more LNG because “someone” blew up the Nordstream Pipeline. The EU is ow importing a whole lot less pipeline gas from Russia.

    How is that huge BASF Chemical Plant in Germany doing?
    How is the EU fertilizer and agricultural chemical production doing?

    1. Aha, so first you regurgitate debunked bullshit (see first two posts) then deflect on a tangent.

      1. “Aha, so first you regurgitate debunked bullshit (see first two posts) then deflect on a tangent.”

        No amount of deflection or obfuscation from you can possibly change the fact that Ukraine is losing this war, and losing badly.

        Normally I’d advise you to give it up before you lose what little credibility you have left, but that ship sailed months ago. You’re just an embarrassment now, even to the other Simpletons ™. Run along and practice your goose-stepping somewhere it is more appreciated, little guy…

        1. Hate you break it to you but your limitations are showing up yet again. This thread is not about who is winning and who is losing the war. This thread is about orc energy exports to EU. Do try to keep up.

  7. The EU’s response to dependance on foreign natural gas is to build green hydrogen. “The EU’s hydrogen strategy and REPowerEU plan have put forward a “comprehensive framework’…(and) has proposed to produce 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2030 and to import 10 million tonnes by 2030.”

    https://energy.ec.europa.eu/topics/energy-systems-integration/hydrogen_en

    This is a (hydrogen) pipe dream.. The EU would need almost 100 GW of new electrolyzer capacity by 2028 versus global capacity of 11 GW today and increase offshore and onshore wind in Europe by several times plus add 10s of thousands of km of new hydrogen pipelines. I would estimate the hydrogen plants alone would cost a quarter of a trillion Euros. I think that LNG exports to the EU are a safe bet for a long time.

  8. The war time 2022 to 2023 increase is a bit suprising, but otoh, Europe needs gas after building on wind.
