“Joe Biden” and his regime of Satanic degenerates will just have to lump it.
Too bad there are more people concerned with assigning blame than what this could mean for Europeans this winter.
2030, you'll freeze your ass off, and you'll be happy!
Europe had a goal to have gas storage at 80% by Oct 1 in order to be safe until March. As of yesterday they are at 88.2%. And Norway just opened a new pipeline. Nobody will be freezing in Europe anytime soon. Maybe except some dumb fucks like Hungarians who made themselves even more dependent on Ruscist gas than stupid cunts in Germany. Nah, not even them will freeze - they are at 77%.

Problem of being 'self sufficient' and moving off grid is they will find you eventually, anyway if conceded the absolute central power that they crave.
The capacity is off by 9 fold. Frankly, even Poland and Baltic states with their nearly 50 million population, need more natural gas than the Norway-Poland pipe can deliver.

The entire Norway-Poland pipeline is scheduled to deliver 6.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2023
And just for comparison LNG tankers average 150,000 cubic meters in capacity, which is enough gas to supply some 42,000 U.S. homes for a year. Pipelines are capital intensive (upfront) but you can see why they are desirable. I believe they usually require guarantees for 10 years for investors to be comfortable that they will be able to turn a profit.
Butinge LNG terminal was feeding LNG to Baltics and PL already after Russian pipeline shutdown. I am not sure what is its capacity, and I am not sure how much LNG Baltics + Poland will need, but they will not freeze this winter since they have planned for this eventuality. However, it is clear that their heating cost will be up in hundreds of percent.
And the gas prices are skyrocketing here. We are currently paying 180EUR per month for electricity and gas combined, but our provider wants to raise it to 400EUR per month! My colleague at the office is now paying 693EUR, while her usual was 336EUR. Hopefully, this war in Ukraine will resolve soon and things will go back to normal. People in Europe are kind of depressed about this since we just came out of a pandemic a few months ago…

If average LNG tanker only carries 150,000 cubic meters of natural gas, that means filling the Norwegian terminal with 6.5 billion cubic meters will require 43,333 tanker-loads. Distance from Halifax to Norway is about 3000 miles, and those tankers likely travel at 15-20 knots, meaning a round trip taking 3 weeks.
I hear burning WEF and Globalist apparatchiks make excellent fuel for warmth, albeit a bit stinky.
I believe Norway itself produces shitloads of Nat gas (4th in world after Russia, Qatar, US), why does it need to be shipped to there from Halifax?
The flows from Norway along with supplies via liquefied gas terminals are central to Poland's plan. The country was cut off from Russian gas supplies in April, allegedly for refusing to pay in roubles.
Felix Eick, Welt Reporter, on Why Dismantling Nord Stream Means Cutting Putin's "Arteries of Power"
Back in August, before the Nord Stream attacks, it was possible even for dim Green journalists to see that destroying the pipelines would be to Russia's disadvantage. ...
Two months ago, even arrant fools like Felix Eick could see that destroying Nord Stream would hurt Russia. Now that somebody has actually destroyed Nord Stream (or the better part of it), we have to read harebrained theory upon harebrained theory about why Russia is actually responsible and how the end of these pipelines confers an overwrought twelve-dimensional chess advantage to Putin or helps Gazprom escape hypothetical lawsuits or permits Russia to escape sanctions.
Russia and Germany harmed. Which European country is shedding no tears over that one?
In 2020 Lithuania imported about 1.5M tons of LNG via Butinge. They will have more now via the new pipeline.
Thanks for the info, which makes the situation even more dire than my analysis above showed.
Tanker capacities are sometimes stated in cubic meters, but this can be confusing because this is cubic meters of liquid not gas.
Pretty reasonable argument suggesting that the pipeline explosion was an accident due to Russia's legendary incompetence.
- Gas kept in the pipe for months and months which could form hydrate crystals that could cause an explosion while Russia tried to drain the pipe.
- 2 explosions 17 hours apart relatively close together? What type of attack is that knowing that Russia would have had vessels at the site within short order?
- Russia is not making a big fuss blaming Ukraine or screaming at the UN about it.

Because all the talks have been about replacing Russian gas with LNG shipment from the US. Halifax was actually a very optimistic loading location, as the gas pipeline through New England is already severely capacity-limited in winter even without any offloading onto tankers in Halifax. Any loading port south of NYC would add 1000+ miles shipping distance, requiring 33+% more tankers for the same flow rate.
As far as I know, pipeline from Norway will be filled with Norwegian nat gas, so Halifax is irrelevant. US nat gas goes to Butinge.
logic gymnastics
WookieMan says
Hell my wife makes more than engineers, doctors and attorneys golfing, taking people out to lunch and sitting at conferences. I don't consider it work, but good for her and good for me.
Pharma sales rep, correct?
I'm very impressed at the logic gymnastics required to blame Putin for an act of sabotage which is 100% in favor of the US deep state.
1. Biden: "I am going to have the Nordstream pipeline destroyed! Ha ha."
2. Biden orders pipeline destroyed.
3. PDS crowd: "Look at what Putin did!"
who benefits from destroying the pipeline

Blasts detected near Nord Stream pipelines amid leak – Swedish seismologists
Scientists in Denmark and Sweden registered underwater explosions near the Nord Stream pipelines on Monday, when several major leaks were reported. Sabotage is now suspected as a key reason for the damage.
“There is no doubt that these were explosions,” seismologist Bjorn Lund with Sweden’s National Seismology Centre (SNSN) told public broadcaster SVT on Tuesday.
The Danish military released aerial footage of the leaks, showing large spots and visible bubbling in the water. Nord Stream 1 suffered two leaks northeast of the Danish island of Bornholm, while Nord Stream 2 was damaged south of Dueodde, a beach located at the island’s southernmost tip, the military noted.
Earlier in the day, Moscow said it has been looking into the reasons behind the leaks, suggesting the pipelines were targeted in an act of sabotage. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that currently “no option can be ruled out” on the causes of the incident.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline was completed in 2011. Construction work on Nord Stream 2 began in 2018, and suffered numerous delays due to political pressure and sanctions from the US. The pipeline was finished and pressurized in September 2021, but never actually got online.
Two days before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the German government put its certification on indefinite hold, and has repeatedly rejected any suggestions, both domestic and from Moscow, to open the pipeline.
