Norway, Poland open new gas pipeline as Nord Stream leaks • FRANCE 24 English

As European leaders warned of sabotage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, Poland and Norway inaugurated a new conduit that will reduce dependence on Russian gas. It underscores the urgency of EU economies' search for new energy sources. Also in the show: correspondents Nick Spicer and Anne Mailliet report on the German businesses being forced to close because of high energy costs, and the pound sterling stabilizes a day after historic losses.

[@stdavidboy]

[@trumpforever6706]

The probability that Russia carried out the attack is almost zero. Moscow, to prevent the transit of gas, could have simply closed the taps, simulating an accident in its own territory, not abroad, or, more simply, other maintenance work, as already done previously. Sending a Russian naval unit into the shallow waters of the Baltic to carry out sabotage in an area heavily controlled by NATO forces would be foolish, because if the saboteurs were discovered Moscow would have made an international fool. The risk is not worth the candle. I note that the two explosions were not simultaneous and that the first would have alerted the NATO ships present in the area, making the success of the second sabotage even more difficult. If it were so easy to sabotage the marine gas pipelines without being discovered, why not blow up the new gas pipeline between Norway and Poland that has just been inaugurated, if the goal is to reduce gas supplies to the European continent? Some say that the attack was committed in order not to make Gazprom pay penalties for any failure to supply. Of course, with all the Western sanctions and the seizure of Russian assets in the West that Russia has suffered so far, is now Gazprom also expected to pay the penalties? Moscow would certainly have blocked any penalties. The situation, after the annexation of the Donbas territories, is destined to worsen rapidly. If the Russians use nuclear weapons, the embarrassment will be entirely for the West: to do nothing and show that Ukraine basically does not matter to us except as a means of weakening Putin's regime, or intervening to provoke the Third War World and the disappearance of humanity from planet Earth?

[@banger2998]

The only way to sabotage a pipeline isn’t to send out special forces they could simply load it up with things that’s not supposed to be in it and it will end badly very quickly. The best is that you can then convince people you’re somehow not responsible and get them making conspiracy theories to further destabilize the west it’s very smart by the Russians.

What coincidence that North Stream 1 and 2 were blown up. Hmm quite suspicious

[@Crashed131963]

We in Canada have lots of gas , wish there was a pipeline from Canada to Europe to help out. We do not even have a east coast LNG export terminal ,☹

CANADA THE 51st state

[@rickjames18]

Yup, too many people pushing alternative before they are mature enough so the poorest will suffer as usual for the liberal narrative. Imagine if the US and Canada actually did everything possible to boost energy production and helped Europe. The US hasn't opened a new refinery in decades, that is a not a good thing.

[@sd906238]

Don't worry if you did, China Joe would sabotage it too.

[@memnem3787]

Canada's energy is US energy. Now supply more gas

[@Crashed131963]

@@topnotch6907 I'm Canadian I will take that as a compliment. Love the US as a neighbour. Beats having Russia or China.😀

[@northernsamba7388]

As fast as one pipeline can be blown up, another can suffer the same fate. It is what happens when silent agreements are no longer kept, and all gloves are off.

[@tomsawer8696]

Firefights between rival gangs for oil and gas market is brutal, but I never thought it will come to act of war just to get gas on the market.

[@user-ok2mn4bw7u]

The main problem of European governments after the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline is knowing that the United States carried out the explosion and realizing all the socio-economic consequences of this for their own population, to come up with a realistic explanation for why Russia blew up its pipeline, which it can simply turn off whenever it wants.

Poland and Denmark are good for the winter. Germany is still a concern.

[@Marinawinkel]

we have all agreed to send gas around to eachother, so the ones in need get from the others :-)

That will teach Germany for voting for Anglea Merkel and Nordstream 2 and Russian dependence! Trump warned them what could happen!

[@jacktenrec472]

no they are not

[@eveleung8855]

@DigNap15 the policy actually good for Germany, but not good for the US, Angela Merkel's plan was resource depending Russia, industrial production is depending on Germany, market is depending on China, was a total win for Germany...... Until the US come in and mess up, now even bashing Germany policy, Russian cheap gas is the one and only key for EU's economic prosperity, without Russian cheap gas, EU industrial is finished, that is exactly what the US plan for EU - de-industrialization, force them move their operation and supply chain to the US. The US just rob EU, and try to bashing Germany's policy to cover up the cesspool they created.

I can't imagine that they haven't installed safety measures in case there's ever been a leak in order to shut down the gas from Spewing into the ocean.

[@mateuszgorecki6848]

The gas was already shut down before sabotage.

What happened to the competition?

[@milanvesic4300]

This Baltic pipe is no more than 355 mm while North steam is 1200 mm wide. I doubt that will do something epic for Poland.

[@rainieresguerra4780]

For Poland, it will do something epic. And it will surely be followed by more pipelines.
