There is an old saying that when you are in a hole, you should stop digging. You aren't following that advice though.
I claim that an LNG terminal on the scale of the Sabine Pass LNG project could replace Nord Stream 1. You claim that 5 such terminals would be a drop in the bucket. Let's look at numbers and see who is right.
Nord Stream 1's official capacity is 55 billion cubic meters a year of LNG. (They actually run a bit more than that.)

Sabine Pass is the largest LNG terminal in the world. Its capacity is 55.4 million metric tonnes per year. Source https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263935/largest-operational-lng-terminals-by-capacity-worldwide/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263935/largest-operatio...
Those numbers are close, but the units are different. But 1 million metric tons LNG = 1.38 billion cubic meters LNG. Source: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c6-89.html https://www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm/wholefarm/html/c6-89....
Therefore a single LNG terminal on the same scale as the Sabine Pass LNG project would provide 139% of the official capacity of Nord Stream 1.
Do you have any more "corrections" to offer? Or do you wish to keep digging the hole you are in?
- mid 4y ago> Nord Stream 1's official capacity is 55 billion cubic meters a year of LNG Hmm... Are you saying liquified natural gas is pumped through North Stream?
- btilly 4y agoOops, that was clearly a mistake. Thanks for catching it. Natural Gas is pumped through Nord Stream. But it is not sent in liquid form. If it was, then keeping the pipeline sufficiently cold and pressurized would be an insane challenge.
