“Pump full force”: in crisis, Germany forces satellites to pump more gas, but she refuses to use her reserves
Germany is pushing the Netherlands to exploit its natural gas reserves, despite some justified environmental reserves in a country with a very high population density. The most famous Dutch field is that of Groeningen, which until 2021 was believed to be gradually decommissioned, both for the particular quality of the gas, different from normal natural gas, and because the extractions had caused numerous local earthquakes and damaged the local homes, fueling fears in a country that lives almost at sea level.

The gas crisis, on the other hand, has delayed the closing, indeed the government is considering significantly increasing extractions if the gas crisis enters a critical phase. More than the Netherlands it is necessary to feed the North German industry and cities like Hamburg.
But this is not the only case in which Holland yields to German needs. The island of Schiermonnikoog is a naturalistic paradise on the North Sea, but now a few miles from its coast, the exploitation of a large natural gas field will begin, although the actual production will not start until 2024, when many energy problems will be solved. .
The Russian gas crisis is leading to a rediscovery of gas sources in all German satellites, those countries that are politically unable to free themselves from Berlin's orders. Italy is also among these where, despite the obstacles posed by the Minister for Ecological Transition and Economic Death, Cingolani, several Adriatic wells are expected to resume production next autumn. For example, the Sant'Andrea well, which will supply 1300 cubic meters of gas per day, will resume production between October and December thanks to the Canadian Zenith.
In short, German demand is driving the reopening of gas extraction throughout Europe, except in Germany: despite the fact that the country is known to be rich in natural gas reserves that can be extracted with fracking, Berlin refuses to lift the ban on this type. of extraction technique, the same that is then used to produce liquefied gas that arrives from the USA or from other parts of the world. If fracking is destructive, German selfishness admits the devastation, in its service, of the whole world, except for Germany, despite the fact that there are important reserves that can be extracted from Lower Saxony . The beauty is that the rest of the world tolerates and feeds this selfishness.
