For decades, European countries have been dependent on Russian gas imports. And they did it to themselves. The biggest culprit? Germany. Only after Russia declared war on Ukraine did the German government realize that Russia has been using gas as a weapon for a long time.
How did this come about? What is Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan? The films take a look behind the scenes of the Russian gas monopoly Gazprom. They show the genesis of an empire: from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the Russian goldrush, the restrictions imposed by newly-elected President Vladimir Putin and his regime’s subsequent arrests and expropriations. The filmmakers shot the film before the start of Russia's attack on Ukraine; a project that would no longer be possible today. The material allows viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of the energy giant Gazprom.

You are so right ! This depedancy on Russia Gas grew out of a German belief (Including Merkel) that a Russia bound in trade would have too much to risk in conflict with Europe, making Germany more secure while also profiting its economy. Putin made the best ever chess move to convince them - the vest one was when he hired Schröder untill he finally exposed how strong and confident he feels and made one mistake - tried to check mate Europe and invaded Ukraine. This SUDDEN and ABSOLUTELY UNEXPECTED MOVE by Putin lead German Politicians to WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLEEP - reconsidering their ties and trust with Russia DESPITE YEARS OF WARNING FROM THE US AND THE MAJORITY TO EU COUNTRIES AND ALLIES. Mr. Schröder has today become the most prominent face of that long era of miscalculation, not only because he expresses no regret but because he has also profited handsomely from it, earning millions promoting Russian energy interests.

You missed out that it was Polish administration PiS which almost single-handedly opposed Russian influence and fuel dependence. Sikorsky and the Tusk Government did the opposite in 2007-2014. They removed Poland's veto on Russian involvement in European and world institutions, and supported the German fuel dependence, and the invasions of Georgia and Ukraine. Despite the fact that Putin's economic blacklisting of Poland wasn't removed. Tusk/Sikorsky seem very skillful at rewriting history, both whitewashing their instrumental part in this, and blackening the PiS a conservative centre-left government they branded as "right wing nationalist". See the documentary series "Reset".

Sentiments aside, your insinuation is incredibly incorrect. Norway’s geologically proven and unexplored reserves are a fraction of Russia’s and they do not have the infrastructure in place to supply most of Europe in the volume that would be sufficient to see to their needs on the continent. Furthermore, environmental movements in the country are quite influential and represent a strong impediment to any proposals to expand Norway’s infrastructure and capacity to produce and export more gas. Now even with the capacity they have at the moment, the strict environmental laws and additional provisions for contract stipulations and other provisions for cross border trade add more to the cost of Norwegian gas. In essence, Russian gas is still by far the cheapest and best alternative and this is why Angela Merkel threw her country into deepening the energy relationship with Russia further than her predecessor.

In January 2022 the European Commission endorsed fossil gas as a “transition” fuel. The decision had been fiercely fought over by EU member states. Germany and much of Central and Eastern Europe had supported gas’s inclusion while nations like Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria had opposed it.

“In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future” (2017).

@tylerdurden3722 3 ай бұрын

Maybe if we use open fuel tanks, no fuel lines to control it, and just let the fuel fumes make it's own way into the intake, that would reduce control of the energy and because controlling with tanks, pumps and fuel lines consumes most of the energy in a car's enery system, refucing control would make these freed fume powered engines more efficient than conventional controlled engines

German gdp= $US4.26 trillion. Russian gdp= $US1.86 trillion. Russia is a supplier of raw materials, Germany has a fully intergrated economy with high standard of education and the production of a wide range of technologically advanced products. Their economy has suffered an inflationary shock, but not a collapse, due to the increased price of gas.

If Europe wanted to be energy independent , it could, but this would not bode well, with almost any fossil fuel owner in the world Plus... It has its own fossil fuel deposits. It has the know-how for nuclear energy and about any form of renewable energy . That said, the "dependency" worry is without merit, in the fact that you change your depndencies from Russia to Middle East. You still maintain a dependency , the question is to whom. People prefer to keep a depndency to the Middle East, as it is deemed more controllable. I am not convinced. The excuses are posted frontline , the real reasons are held behind. And the real reason is financial dominance. Not sure this is a sustainable policy .

The former prime minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt, became a board member of Gazprom during this "charm offensive", accepting seven figure Euro kick-backs, claiming he actually couldn't say no to them (sic.) even when it was demanded of him as he accepted the role of Sweden's foreign minister. Carl Bildt is still asked to be a pundit in our news outlets, also in regards to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Of course he knew he was selling out our national security, but it's as if Russian propaganda is actually working still, even after all that we know today. We might look at Trump and his followers and be horrified at how "fact resistant" they are, but I really think we'd better take a really good look at our own parallel political degradation here in Europe.
