#turkstream — Public Fediverse posts

What's up with this? Article is from Sept 2022: Netherlands🇳🇱 withdrew "its export license" for Putler's the TurkStream gas pipeline that feeds South-EU (!), but "requested the resumption of the license".

It also draws attention to how deep the EU-dependency goes wrt Putler's energy supply. And it once again explains in part why the German Green's ministry builds so many #LNG Terminals.
The alleged overcapacity for own gas needs today can be explained by Germany's historical role as hub for Putler's gas: nearly 50% of what arrived via Ukraine and #Nordstream1 always went on to neighbour countries.
And because every nation wants to grow economic activity – as evil as that is for climate and biodiversity, it is a fact that pertains to the alleged overcapacity – every nation will need more gas than what was historically supplied by Putler via Germany.
