- roody15 4y agoThe driver was to prevent the possible rise of Russia. Had Nordstream 2 been allowed to come online. Russia would have reaped enormous benefits and its influence in Europe would have strengthened. This was clearly not in the US’s geopolitical interest.
- anonuser123456 4y agoFrom the article "It seems clear that for us there are no other ways out than a decisive shift toward renewables, already today much cheaper than fossil fuels and capable of completely replacing them. Politicians have not yet understood this, but moving to renewables would protect us from new crises of energy availability and from blackmail by producers. But it's not something that can be done overnight."

In NL we even have food packing companies shutting down production this winter for 6 weeks. How many months/years of idling will it be before they go bankrupt or the owners decide to pull the plug?
