The EU plans to cut Russian gas in one year, filling pipelines with words

9 March 20222 years ago babelfish

Yesterday the Commission revealed its ingenious strategy to cut dependence on Russian gas by 66% within one year. The strategy is called "REPowerEU ", and we fear that some private company of technical clothing items could sue Von Der Leyen. What's in this amazing plan?

Judge for yourself:

more gas from alternative suppliers, such as Azerbaijan, and from liquid natural gas;
17 billion cubic meters of gas from "renewable sources" (biogas)
5 billion tons of hydrogen from renewable sources
electrify homes and industries
savings and efficiency; 480 GW from renewable sources (solar and wind)
transform and decarbonise the industry
European countries will be obliged to have their gas reserves 90% full by 1 October.

In practice, some observations:

it is assumed that so far European countries have not sought alternative natural gas funds. Di Maio went to Algeria for cooking. Azerbaijan alone cannot replace Russia. It is also assumed, in perfect European style, that you snap your fingers and a regasifier is born. No mention of self-production, production from Schist (Poland, Spain, France).
who builds the biogas plants? How long does it take to build them?
Hydrogen from renewable sources…. like this, out of nowhere …
electrifying homes and industries is fine. Who pays?
480 GW from renewable sources. If it's not windy, what do we do?
who pays for the decarbonisation and electrification of the industry? Is this operation economically feasible?
if there will be no gas to fill the stocks to 90% what do we do? Do we fine the states that failed to achieve the goal?

So the European Commission fights, from an energy point of view, against Russia with a tide of utopias, dreams, without a truly effective, achievable plan, but only with words. A gem is the obligation to fill stocks to 90%: we are sure that with a binding directive of this kind, the gas, taken by Divine Fear for the Commission, will generate itself from the ground spontaneously, indeed it will build the gas pipelines by itself.

Trying to beat Russia with a Soviet-style organization is laughable, if not worse. It seems incredible that anyone still takes such a bunch of arrogant worders seriously.
