Even by running on nuclear energy, Germany condemned its own industry which relies heavily on gas, which will not be delivered as required by Russia due to its own political decisions against Russia. They won't be able to get the gas from another country in the quantity required. The majority of factories just can't suppress their usage of gas. This winter will be quite difficult for a lot of industrial companies.
I just can't understand, strategically, how such huge decisions can be made so quickly and totally going against the interest of your own people and economy.
No, it takes at least three years to build LNG terminal. Even if it take less than that it would be quite hard to reach the necessary supply by LNG carrier ships. It also requires the construction of new LNG carrier ships. It also requires new partnerships.
That's interesting to hear. I thought the reason LNG futures for this winter in the UK are so high is because other European countries are expected to have completed lng terminals by then. They only started a couple of months ago.

I mean, they just messed up badly.
