Re: That's your LNG....from where does your natural gas come, Gustav, the wise? Liquefied natural gas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. I know what the hell LNG is. I don't know this for a fact but I bet LNG provides only a small portion of the EU's heating needs. In fact, Russia has a pipeline of natural gas that flows into Europe. So then, to make sure we are on the same page: there are several sources for heating: LNG, unliquified nat. gas, heating oil, coal and nukes. Got it? Re: Didn't it ever occur to you why ex Chancellor Schröder was so eager to work with Gazprom after he was no longer chancellor of Germany? Of course: Moscow is much closer to Berlin than Doha... qatargas.com; And Moscow single largest provider of natural gas to Europe with at least 25% of its heating in winter: "Russia currently provides 25 percent of the EU's natural-gas supplies -- a calculation that leaves Brussels and other EU capitals vulnerable to Moscow's political whim." rferl.org In addition, Russia also sells oil to Europe through pipelines.
