Europeans are learning slowly. The Nord Stream 1 scare that Russia would not restart natural gas flowing in the pipeline after its planned annual maintenance has put Europeans, and particularly Germans who heat half their homes with gas and use it for electricity generation and in critical industrial applications, on edge. Russia is clearly using […]

Russian natural gas supply to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline capacity fell to 40 percent recently as Russia cut flows awaiting the return of equipment sent to Canada for repair and warns that more delays in repairs could lead to cutting all flows, putting additional strain on Europe’s ability to refill its natural gas inventories […]
