  11. «Мерзни, мерзни, волчий хвост»
    «Заморозка» Европы не удалась.
    Средняя цена на газ в Европе по итогам 2024 года опустилась до $392 за тыс. куб. м, что ниже показателей трех предыдущих лет. Так, в 2021 году цена составляла $577 за тыс. куб. м, в 2022 году — $1444 за тыс. куб. м, а в 2023 году — $469 за тыс. куб. м.
    Рынок полностью отыграл шок предложения, вызванный резким сокращением поставок «Газпрома»: объем трубопроводных поставок из России в ЕС в 2024 году оказался на 78% ниже, чем в 2021 году (86 млн куб. м против 390 млн куб. м в сутки), а их доля в общей структуре импорта сократилась с 41% до 11%.
    Эксперты отмечают, что остановка транзита через Украину не сможет всерьез дестабилизировать европейский рынок. При этом у России из семи газотранспортных систем, построенных для обеспечения топливом европейских потребителей, сейчас в действующем состоянии остался только «Турецкий поток» (С).

    На основі наданих даних можна провести перевірку фактів та оцінити ситуацію:
    **Ціни на газ у Європі**
    У 2024 році середня ціна $392 за 1000 куб. м дійсно нижча, ніж у 2021 ($577), 2022 ($1444) та 2023 ($469). Це свідчить про стабілізацію ринку газу після енергетичної кризи 2022 року.
    Падіння цін могло бути зумовлене кількома факторами, такими як збільшення постачання з альтернативних джерел (зокрема, зрідженого природного газу — ЗПГ), зниження попиту через енергозбереження та теплішу погоду.
    **Обсяги поставок «Газпрому»**
    Дані про зменшення обсягів трубопровідних поставок у ЄС на 78% (86 млн куб. м на добу в 2024 році проти 390 млн куб. м у 2021 році) відповідають загальній тенденції. Європа активно скорочує залежність від російського газу, і це підтверджується зменшенням частки РФ в імпорті з 41% до 11%.
    **Огляд ринку**
    Ринок відреагував на скорочення російських поставок шляхом диверсифікації джерел енергоресурсів, розширення інфраструктури ЗПГ і пошуку нових постачальників (США, Катар, Норвегія тощо).
    Відновлення балансу між попитом і пропозицією підтверджується стабілізацією цін, що також є показником того, що ринок більше не залежить від російських трубопроводів.
    **Транзит через Україну**
    Заява про те, що зупинка транзиту через Україну не дестабілізує ринок ЄС, виглядає правдоподібною, враховуючи зниження частки російського газу в імпорті.
    **Газотранспортні системи Росії**
    Від семи основних газотранспортних систем діє лише «Турецький потік», що підтверджує значне скорочення експортних можливостей Росії для постачання газу в Європу.
    Висновок
    Дані вказують на успішну адаптацію європейського енергетичного ринку до скорочення постачань російського газу. Зменшення цін на газ, диверсифікація постачань та зниження залежності від Росії підтверджують, що «заморозити» Європу через скорочення енергоресурсів не вдалося.

    Сланцевий газ у США дійсно є предметом як успішних кейсів енергетичної незалежності, так і гучних екологічних суперечок. Розглянемо факти та пропагандистські міфи:
    **1. Видобуток сланцевого газу та енергетика США**
    **Успіхи сланцевої революції**:
    Сланцевий газ зробив США найбільшим виробником природного газу у світі, дозволив країні стати експортером ЗПГ (зрідженого природного газу) та суттєво знизити залежність від імпорту енергоносіїв.
    Збільшення експорту до Європи допомогло компенсувати дефіцит, спричинений скороченням російських поставок.
    **Економічний ефект**:
    Видобуток створив тисячі робочих місць, приніс значні прибутки до бюджету окремих штатів, таких як Техас, Пенсильванія, Огайо та Північна Дакота.
    **2. Екологічні ризики та міфи**
    **"Сеча замість води"**:
    Цей міф пов’язаний із технікою гідравлічного розриву пласта (фрекінгу), яка використовує воду, пісок і хімічні добавки. Дійсно, є випадки забруднення ґрунтових вод через неправильне управління відходами або аварії на свердловинах. Проте масштабність цієї проблеми часто перебільшується у пропаганді.
    У штатах, де проводять фрекінг, уряд запровадив суворі правила щодо охорони довкілля та моніторингу стану вод.
    **Природний газ у воді**:
    Вірусні відео, де вода з-під крана "горить", часто використовували як доказ забруднення через фрекінг. Насправді, такі явища у деяких регіонах були зафіксовані задовго до активного видобутку через природний вихід метану в ґрунтові води.
    **3. Чому кричить пропаганда?**
    **Зменшення впливу Росії**:
    Сланцевий газ США допомагає Європі відмовитися від російського газу, що позбавляє РФ стратегічного важеля впливу. Тому в російських медіа активно розганяють фейки про катастрофічні наслідки сланцевого видобутку.
    **Відволікання уваги**:
    Критикуючи сланцевий газ, пропаганда намагається відволікти від реальних екологічних проблем Росії, таких як забруднення від видобутку нафти, газових аварій та обвалення свердловин у Сибіру.
    **Висновок**
    Сланцевий газ — це не ідеальна технологія, але її переваги в енергетичній незалежності США та Європи очевидні. Екологічні проблеми вирішуються локально, і їх масштабність перебільшується у пропагандистських наративах. Тож історії про "сечу з колонки" більше схожі на анекдоти, ніж на реальну картину.

    Oh. And Rob Howard showed that #ShaleGas gas has the same isotopic fingerprint as contemporary biogenic #methane. So pointing to #wetlands to explain rising #CH4 growth isn't useful. I'd go as far as saying, it's a ruse by the fossil industry.

    #TraditionalOwners in Katherine and #Ngukurr regions threaten legal action over #GasExploration deal

    TRADITIONAL owners in the Katherine and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving #GinaRinehart’s #mining companies

    "TRADITIONAL owners in the #KatherineNT and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving Gina Rinehart’s mining companies.

    "The NT News can reveal traditional owners from the #Alawa, #Kelweyi and #Mangarrayi land trusts will today use a scheduled #NorthernLandCouncil meeting to demand a review of the agreement and accuse the #NLC of failing to properly consult.

    "NLC chief executive #JoeMorrison rejected the accusation as the work of #environmentalists fostering a 'rising tide of confusion' among traditional owners.

    "The exploration deal for Hancock Prospecting’s #JacarandaMinerals and #MineralsAustralia over more than 6500sq km of #Aboriginal-owned land in the #McArthurBasin was announced in March last year as the first gas exploration permit on NLC-managed Aboriginal land.

    "It was promoted by the NT Government as a win for jobs and the economy, and as a breakthrough in co-operation between traditional owners, mining companies, government and the NLC. But traditional owners soon after began calls for a review of the consultation and demanded copies of the deal they signed.

    "'We are in agreement that the process and risks of onshore #ShaleGas #fracking and the scope of work plan was not explained to us. We believe there has been a failure to undertake proper consultation,' read the most recent of several letters signed by traditional owners and sent to the NLC and Chief Minister Adam Giles since April last year.

    "Northern Territory #FrackFreeAlliance spokeswoman Lauren Mellor said traditional owners and members of the land trusts were refused copies of the agreement."

    Here is the first page of The Erenwine Agenda, my first published ecofiction novel, sharing for #FlashFicFriday

    Amalia Sengupta Erenwine stood in the middle of the gravel lot in Binghamton’s Aqua-Terra County Park, and eyed the mud puddles ahead on the trail. Lace-ups were a good start, but she needed something more heavy-duty on her feet. Betsy stood on the far side of the clearing, head bowed over a printed set of Polson Grohman’s architectural drawings, in a quiet huddle with the environmental center partners and the gas executives from Atlantia Actuaris.

    With Betsy across the clearing and a moment to herself, Amalia could breathe it all in and enjoy it for what it was: a spectacular natural environment. The park gave her a boost of energy; just to be in it was enough. She put the camera in her bag opposite her packed lunch, rested the bag on a tipped-up stone slab at the trailhead, and glanced ahead to see dark clouds gather on the horizon beyond the fall colors of upstate New York.

    Trying to let go of her inner conflict with the gas company’s investment had drawn it closer, and she found herself facing the reality that her internship in architecture was underwritten by the natural gas industry. Fracking supported her growth as an architect. Her environmentalism turned so awry, so quickly, on her move to New York City.
