Germany produces enough natural gas for their own needs! They choose to buy Russian gas because the further west from Russia, the more expensive and profitable it is. So the Germans sell 2/3 of their NG to Iberia, BENELUX, and the UK, while turning around and buying cheap Russian gas.
Germany is decent for natural gas prices because of this, but I don't blame Merkel for not wanting to be the one who causes gas prices to go up 40% to use their domestic supply.
They had actually planned to invest in a Canadian company to produce compressed gas because sending gas from west coast canada, pipe it to Halifax, and then boat it over to Germany would still be cheaper and more secure than buying Russian. Amazing how retarded politicians are, a businessman would've made this decision decades ago.
Problem is there'd be almost zero chance of that pipeline ever being built in Canada. This is how fucked up things are here now, we're shipping crude from Alberta, to BC(west coast), then floating it by tankers through the panama canal, and to a refinery in New Brunswick(east coast).
Bruv I'm born n raised Albertan, I know all about the fuckery the left has done to our country. Decades of controlling the education has created a mass hive mind of weak men and a society of mediocrity that the only thing they have going for them is "At LeAsT wErE nOt ThE uSa!!!!1!". I'm getting tired of this country and want to move somewhere based and not full of emotionally driven cucks.
Yeah hard to know where some people are from. But, I know that feeling man. If Canada survives to 2030 I'll be surprised. I genuinely expect it to fracture because not only is confederation difficult to maintain, but the Charter itself ensures that it remains broken.
Sounds like the only reason why using their domestic supply is more expensive than importing it is due to the government over-regulating their own shit.
Well, yes and no. Natural gas is sold on futures/global prices, but there are delivery factors that make it cheaper for France to buy German gas for their limited uses, they're a mainly nuclear country now so their demand isn't much.
You know what's even more retarded?
