No going back to reliance on Russian gas from here This is no coincidence. Russia's state-controlled gas giant announced an indefinite extension to a three-day maintenance halt to flows of gas through the continent's key energy artery, hours after leading western finance ministers vowed to escalate sanctions on Russian oil. This online SLOTXO can be used to play all of which we have available to interested parties 24 hours a day. Gazprom's official reason is that an oil leak has been found and the pipeline cannot work without German imports of technology, which are now subject to sanctions. Few observers believe, however, that this is anything other than an attempt essentially to blackmail Europe over supplies. The G7 world's main economies, including the UK, agreed to cap the price they pay for oil from Russia. This is a way to limit the revenues that fund the Kremlin's war in Ukraine - it earns more from oil exports than gas. But this is a very serious development. Even during the height of the Cold War, Russia kept supplies of its gas flowing into Europe. This cut-off though - and the pointed attempt by Gazprom to blame the German energy giant Siemens for the malfunction - is the culmination of decades of dysfunction in the energy relationship between Russia and Germany. For most of that time, of course, Bonn and then Berlin were delighted to avail themselves of cheap Russian gas. A younger Vladimir Putin did his PhD thesis on the importance of Russian energy exports. When I visited Gazprom's headquarters a decade ago and its fields in Siberia, I was told menacingly "anyone who artificially tries to diminish the role of Russian gas is playing a very dangerous game". A visit to the Novi Urengoy field showed Gazprom consolidating its hold on the Russian state, with some assistance from Berlin. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder enshrined this dependence with the building of this same Nordstream pipeline, which then gave him a job on its board. Gazprom sponsored German football, Europe's premier football competition the Champions League, and bankrolled various Russian soft power projects. |

The United States is now more reliant on imported natural gas than ever. With the lifting of sanctions against Russia, an abundance of natural gas from Russia is becoming available to U.S. markets, but there are some potential risks involved with this development.

The EU should also encourage its members to reduce their dependence on Russian gas supplies by diversifying sources of energy supply and investing more in alternative energy systems. |
