I'm pretty sure Europe is cut off from Russian energy for years at this point because so much infrastructure has been destroyed (including Nord Stream 1), and if the conflict lasts into the winter, Russian's production capability will be set back by decades as they don't have the means to store the volumes they need to produce in order to keep their equipment from seizing in the cold.

Think Saddam Hussein in 1991, but not quite as bad because the Russians wouldn't set the well-head equipment on fire, but burn it a bit away from the well, and in a way they could easily put out. You think they wouldn't?
- ceejayoz 4y agoNordstream 1 was about 35% of supply. Russia continues to supply gas via other pipelines, including the ones through Ukraine no one's dumb enough to attack thus far (for now: https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-gas-across-ukraine-jeopardized/ https://www.politico.eu/article/russian-gas-across-ukraine-j...). https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Major_russian_gas_pipelines_to_europe.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Major_ru... The Russians can burn gas if their storage fills up.
