What's the big deal about a second pipeline?
- ComradePhil 5y agoAdditional pipelines double the previous capacity. The US has two main political interests when it comes to the use of natural gas. One of them is anti-fossil fuels and would not like to have a world where a large portion of the western world relies on fossil fuels. Another faction is invested in the US fracking industry, one of the products of which is natural gas. The gas from fracking can be liquified and shipped in large quantities to Europe because it already relies on a lot of it. Both of these interests have a common enemy: Russia.
