The "Berliner Zeitung" (local newspaper in Berlin) says that the US has conflicting interests: Trump was pushing a market for liquid gas produced in the US by means of fracking; now Biden wants to get rid of fracking. The newspaper says that this change in priorities is an opportunity for Merkel to push for the project (which she regards as being in the interest of Germany). Still they are quite ambivalent because of the many conflicting interests around it. https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/wirtschaft-verantwortung/nord-stream-2-die-pipeline-in-einer-kritischen-phase-li.134356 https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/wirtschaft-verantwortung/nor...
- downrightmike 6y agofracking is just a nasty process and destroys water reservoirs. Really isn't worth it just to make the rich richer. But they don't live there and they like nestle, so they want people to buy bottled water.
