Zhufor TheImpaler Look I’ve said this many times before and I’ll say it again I have a military family and I know more about the US government more than the average informant deployed by the united states And I had to stop you right there when you said the United States is becoming an international bully well first of all the United States is cracking down on spies for the CCP all over the west but the German leader Angela Merkel doesn’t want the United States to help clean Ccp spies in Germany because she is being bribed by the CCP to allow CCP outlets to Operate in Germany to Sway German opinions against the US , when the United States gave clear warnings to Germany about this. They refused and went along with it anyway. CCP outlet has been operating in Germany since the fall of the Berlin wall , With Russia now gone the CCp can insert their influence into Germany. All the information you get about the United States of course it’s going to be negative , because you guys are being ran by communist. So Angela Merkel knows damn well that those outlets are spreading lies about the United States. But draw whatever parallels you want if you do not want to head my warnings and wake tf instead Defending your communist government and go right ahead because we gave Germany plenty of chances and We won’t regret carpet bombing that lying hell hole . You think the United States is not capable of fucking Germany up ? think again . And like I said as for someone who’s been studying the US government and having multiple people in my family who has ties to the US government , the Russians and Chinese has found out through spying that their secret weapons are no match for the United States. Good luck Germany this is your third strike you’re out.
This video's premise is laughable as Qatar has the cheapest LNG in the world. Russian vs US LNG only comes into play in Europe, where by proximity Russian LNG vis pipeline is cheaper than US LNG. Also you guys cite misleading statistics as the LNG market has bren depressed since 2018. A surge of LNG projects , especially in Australia has come online depressing prices. The slow down in China since 2017 flattened the overwhelming main driver of growth in the sector. Contrary to your reporting, LNG projects have been frozen and cancelled across the board since 2018. Simply look at all the cancecled LNG projects in Australia in 2018.
Zeitgeist X Russia don’t export LNG to Europe, it export ordinary compressed natural gas in its pipelines. LNG is almost 100% exported in large ships in a liquified state.
They’re thinking of building a $5.6 Billion LNG plant near where I live, in Goldboro, Nova Scotia. I wonder once it’s built (if its built) if that kind of facility provides ongoing economic benefits to the local area or not. It’s an (relatively) impoverished and depopulated district.
It should generate a lot of jobs, as long as it's working. But there is a lot of global competition and a strong chance of shutdowns which, in an isolated area like that, where there are few other work opportunities, would be a major crisis.
The Us want's to sell more LNG to Europe at the extent of Russian gas. Here we see one of the causes of the conflict in the Ukraine.It can't compete on price with Russian gas. Europe can expect higher gas prices
@@iandavies6575 When your Heating Bill is tripled, from one Winter to the next, You notice..... When your Employer begins to lay off Workers, You notice. I notice you offer nothing that backs your claim.
Super interesting content! I think natural gas is a great resource! Natural gas emits 60% less CO2 compared to coal. That's great news for an energy thirsty China who burns 50% of the world's coal. Sure natural gas isn't perfect. It's nonrenewable and it still emits CO2. But transitioning to green technology is much slower than most people think. We have to delicately balance economy and ecology towards the direction of sustainability. Natural gas is the first step.
DJP 36 I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out. Greenhouse gases aside, I natural gas can allow us to continue a high standard of living with negligible effects on the environment.
To claim this has anything to do with Trump is preposterous. The LNG wave in the US started in 2011/12 and a number of the core customers were European and South Korean from the start.
I know this is a year later but this video was more of a warning and spot on . Considering we no longer have Trump in power , to your idiotic point look at the chart @ 6:33. Trump was right all along and deserves the credit to making us an energy exporter .
The video is missing an important aspect. The german/european dependency of russian gas isn't the reason the US is sanctioning german/european companies. Russia has been delivering gas for decades, even in the deepest crises of the cold war. The US just wants to sell its own gas, make money and gain power. Apart of that it's a bit ridiculous to increase sanctions at nord stream 2 by a lot, when only 130 km of 1200 km are missing and billions of dollars have been invested already.
@@vadymfedyukovych8660 yes and that is the reason why the EU is against north stream II. it has nothing to do with energy dependence from russia. the EU tries to speak for eastern european countries that fear to lose income and become more vulnerable against russia. north stream II was certainly not the smartest thing politically. if that pipeline would have been build trough east europe no one in the eu would be against it. north stream II is basically the safest and cheapest for germany and maybe some neighboring central european countries.
This video is missing another important aspect: Russia wants reduce risks in case of keep moving. Pipes are just too sensitive to go through "new republics". Having alternative pipes to Turkey and Germany delivering, we might see Transnistria connected to Russia soon. Probably Germany would preper to have their gas anyway.
Interesting video but I wish you had talked a bit about the negative environmental impact of fracking. Ultimately, all countries will have to electrify their industries and switch to renewable energy sources.
Among all the fossil fuels available natural gas is probably the least polluting one and also available in plenty in many of these countries mentioned in the video. So it looks best option as of now but in the long term, harnessing solar power looks like the best option for cleaner energy which is of course apart from geothermal, hydroelectric, wind power etc.
Vaman Singh I mostly agree with you but we need to transition to renewables now, not in the long term. We‘re already harming the environment way above the earth‘s capacity and if we don‘t start now, all the investment in fracking and LNG shipping infrastructure will only postpone the transition to clean energy even more..
@@julian5701 Yes correct but cost benefits are a huge factor in deciding what type of energy source to pursue. Investments are being made in LNG and fracking because it is still economical to extract these resources. In the last one decade lots of efforts have also been made towards making solar energy cheaper and more efficient to harness but it is still a long way to go before becoming major source of energy for human consumption.
Vaman Singh Absolutely. I just wish these cost benefit calculations went a bit further than the next quarter since fossil fuels will directly and indirectly incur costs much higher than the short term benefits.
Watching this January 30, 2022, when Russia is threatening a Ukraine invasion. So, by forcing Juncker to build LNG processing plants to receive US LNG, it seems Trump has strengthened the EU’s hand against Putin’s NG blackmail …..
@@TreeLBollingTreeMan Not surprising!...Petrodollar was introduced in the 1970s Nixon era....today it is not as relevant as a lot of countries do a lot of their oil business in alternative currencies etc...but petrodollar is still the easiest, most efficient way because US Dollar is very stable, reliable (for nearly a century now) and the most used reserve currency in the world..
As far as I'm concern this video completly misses the mark. America exporting gas/lng pumped thru pipelines that the American tax payer paid for, just for quick big bucks for the major oil companies. All this exported gas to keep Asian and European houses toasty warm . The pipeline welder had to go home to a cold house because the American Government can't/won't build the pipeline infrastructure to the residential areas for our own homes. Let American gas stay in America.
Although a source of profit for the USA, selling LNG outside the USA is not a necessity. The US domestic market for methane gas will do nicely and US domestic users will benefit from lower energy costs. Also, the USA could produce more gas by pumping domestic waste down into a dried up oil well, thus converting it into a "digestor" in which the decomposition of organic waste produces methane. Also, the technology of using cultured bacteria to decompose "biomass" (excess vegetation from forest lands) could be added to the energy production stream. Using better forest management techniques could significantly reduce wildfires in western states of the USA, while adding to the manufactured energy stream.
You forgot to tell how the United States imposed sanctions on the companies participating in the Nord Stream 2 project. Because of this, the laying of pipes has stopped. But Russia considered this moment and bought a vessel for pipe-laying in advance. The funny thing is that this ship was moving from the Black Sea to the construction site of the Nord Stream, accompanied by a warship. Because without him he would not have made it.
10:25 - "When half the gas the hits Germany comes from Russia" - Actually 59,9% comes not from Russia... Do we want to increase energy dependence on US or Kremlin? Why not both? Or neither? Both US and Russia can use gas for extortion, question though, have Russia used it for this directly already? Because US is already doing exactly that for 2 years now. When choosing between increased heating bill that also includes US hegemony, I'll prefer to stay with Russian hegemony, 1 hegemony is still better than 2, one of which haven't been a great ally lately.
ACTUALLY... Germany has now 55% renewable energies (energy-charts de/energy_pie.htm?year=2020 (replace space with dot)) ... sth. that also could be mentioned in the video... and: there are also energy pipelines from Iran: the USA didnt want and did everything to destroy this trade opportunity. Not trading will not make these places less closed/ autocratic.
Hydrocarbons are over for the United States fracking is only viable at $50 a barrel... the companies that were fracking got by with low interest loans which kept payroll going but they're never going to pay off the loans... the piper is still piping
European Union’s Natural Gas necessity is a matter of global security, and as long as Russia 🇷🇺 is controlling EU energy supplies & needs, Russia will continue to dominate & dictate Europe’s economic & political policies. This is why the US 🇺🇸 needs to step in and replace the European Union’s needs & dependence on Russian Natural Gas.
Why should Russia lay its pipeline through the antisemitic and anti-Russian country where anti-Russian sentiments are diligently nurtured from early childhood. I dont even know another country in the world where animal hatred towards Russia is so well supported by government.
That is the original reasons why the Syrian war broke a massive gas reserve and strategic location and that why you saw all the major power in the world interfered directly
This information has dissappeared utterly from mediaspeak but British researchers have determined natural gas is burned as dirtily as other fossils. Don't know if it need be this way.
China will be for itself. Russia has already been pushed to China. It used to drag its feet for direct pipeline to China, but that's recently completed quickly.
@ Russia and China signed territory treaty to settle the border awhile back. Rumors are often used to stir Russia-China relation. Again, it's all interest-based from any party.
Vaman Singh Yes. At least there’s that. But it’s still bad. The reason that the switch to gas occurred is not because of how cleaner it is though, but because it’s less expensive. So pollution still takes a back seat sadly.
Grant we can officially say you've gained your VisualPolitik approval... Good job man👍🏾

trying to force nations to buy your more expensive gas, even tho, there is an already codependent relationship between local partners, wich provides international political stability between the EU and the russian federation is a dick move.
70% of the russian national budged comes from gas and oil export (most of it to the eu),60% of eu gas comes from russia.
this is a guarantee that russia will not agress against europe, because otherwise it will kill its finances
also this cooperation existed already during the cold war.
Zhufor TheImpaler Look I’ve said this many times before and I’ll say it again I have a military family and I know more about the US government more than the average informant deployed by the united states And I had to stop you right there when you said the United States is becoming an international bully well first of all the United States is cracking down on spies for the CCP all over the west but the German leader Angela Merkel doesn’t want the United States to help clean Ccp spies in Germany because she is being bribed by the CCP to allow CCP outlets to Operate in Germany to Sway German opinions against the US , when the United States gave clear warnings to Germany about this. They refused and went along with it anyway. CCP outlet has been operating in Germany since the fall of the Berlin wall , With Russia now gone the CCp can insert their influence into Germany. All the information you get about the United States of course it’s going to be negative , because you guys are being ran by communist. So Angela Merkel knows damn well that those outlets are spreading lies about the United States. But draw whatever parallels you want if you do not want to head my warnings and wake tf instead Defending your communist government and go right ahead because we gave Germany plenty of chances and We won’t regret carpet bombing that lying hell hole . You think the United States is not capable of fucking Germany up ? think again . And like I said as for someone who’s been studying the US government and having multiple people in my family who has ties to the US government , the Russians and Chinese has found out through spying that their secret weapons are no match for the United States. Good luck Germany this is your third strike you’re out.
Back in BOA administration they tried to sign a deal for export of LNG to curve North stream 2
@ritemoelaw_books83 yeah I guess I should have just not added administration but BOA stands for Barack Obama Administration
This video is even more relevant given Russia's current invasion of Ukraine

@@starsoffyre ...whereas there is a surplus of Grants. We keep a cache of them down in the basement.
This video's premise is laughable as Qatar has the cheapest LNG in the world. Russian vs US LNG only comes into play in Europe, where by proximity Russian LNG vis pipeline is cheaper than US LNG. Also you guys cite misleading statistics as the LNG market has bren depressed since 2018. A surge of LNG projects , especially in Australia has come online depressing prices. The slow down in China since 2017 flattened the overwhelming main driver of growth in the sector. Contrary to your reporting, LNG projects have been frozen and cancelled across the board since 2018. Simply look at all the cancecled LNG projects in Australia in 2018.
Zeitgeist X Russia don’t export LNG to Europe, it export ordinary compressed natural gas in its pipelines. LNG is almost 100% exported in large ships in a liquified state.
Great job. Please create an updated video taking the war into account.
thank you, understand things better now.
Very good video thank you
They’re thinking of building a $5.6 Billion LNG plant near where I live, in Goldboro, Nova Scotia. I wonder once it’s built (if its built) if that kind of facility provides ongoing economic benefits to the local area or not. It’s an (relatively) impoverished and depopulated district.
Can't see any gain here in Australia from LNG exports.
Akso in Rotterdam Hamburg gameover gazpron..TTT control the europe gaz .Dutch..we have the infra all over europe .

It should generate a lot of jobs, as long as it's working. But there is a lot of global competition and a strong chance of shutdowns which, in an isolated area like that, where there are few other work opportunities, would be a major crisis.
Miss Simon but Grant is excellent as well! And the quality of info is always great from VP EN
The Us want's to sell more LNG to Europe at the extent of Russian gas. Here we see one of the causes of the conflict in the Ukraine.It can't compete on price with Russian gas. Europe can expect higher gas prices
European Consumers are in the Streets.
They do not seem to be asking for more LNG......

Wow, how is it all your channel's videos become prophetic?
Super interesting content! I think natural gas is a great resource! Natural gas emits 60% less CO2 compared to coal. That's great news for an energy thirsty China who burns 50% of the world's coal.
Sure natural gas isn't perfect. It's nonrenewable and it still emits CO2. But transitioning to green technology is much slower than most people think. We have to delicately balance economy and ecology towards the direction of sustainability. Natural gas is the first step.
DJP 36 I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out.
Greenhouse gases aside, I natural gas can allow us to continue a high standard of living with negligible effects on the environment.
To claim this has anything to do with Trump is preposterous. The LNG wave in the US started in 2011/12 and a number of the core customers were European and South Korean from the start.
I know this is a year later but this video was more of a warning and spot on . Considering we no longer have Trump in power , to your idiotic point look at the chart @ 6:33. Trump was right all along and deserves the credit to making us an energy exporter .

Detailed analysis of LNG market. Great job! 👍
The video is missing an important aspect. The german/european dependency of russian gas isn't the reason the US is sanctioning german/european companies. Russia has been delivering gas for decades, even in the deepest crises of the cold war. The US just wants to sell its own gas, make money and gain power. Apart of that it's a bit ridiculous to increase sanctions at nord stream 2 by a lot, when only 130 km of 1200 km are missing and billions of dollars have been invested already.
IMO this should be reason enough for the EU to ban all gas imports from the US. I wish the finally grew soem backbone to opose rediciolous US policies
@@vadymfedyukovych8660 Isn't it still?
@@vadymfedyukovych8660 yes and that is the reason why the EU is against north stream II. it has nothing to do with energy dependence from russia. the EU tries to speak for eastern european countries that fear to lose income and become more vulnerable against russia.
north stream II was certainly not the smartest thing politically. if that pipeline would have been build trough east europe no one in the eu would be against it. north stream II is basically the safest and cheapest for germany and maybe some neighboring central european countries.
This video is missing another important aspect: Russia wants reduce risks in case of keep moving. Pipes are just too sensitive to go through "new republics". Having alternative pipes to Turkey and Germany delivering, we might see Transnistria connected to Russia soon. Probably Germany would preper to have their gas anyway.
Interesting video but I wish you had talked a bit about the negative environmental impact of fracking. Ultimately, all countries will have to electrify their industries and switch to renewable energy sources.
Among all the fossil fuels available natural gas is probably the least polluting one and also available in plenty in many of these countries mentioned in the video. So it looks best option as of now but in the long term, harnessing solar power looks like the best option for cleaner energy which is of course apart from geothermal, hydroelectric, wind power etc.
Vaman Singh I mostly agree with you but we need to transition to renewables now, not in the long term. We‘re already harming the environment way above the earth‘s capacity and if we don‘t start now, all the investment in fracking and LNG shipping infrastructure will only postpone the transition to clean energy even more..
@@julian5701 Yes correct but cost benefits are a huge factor in deciding what type of energy source to pursue. Investments are being made in LNG and fracking because it is still economical to extract these resources. In the last one decade lots of efforts have also been made towards making solar energy cheaper and more efficient to harness but it is still a long way to go before becoming major source of energy for human consumption.
Vaman Singh Absolutely. I just wish these cost benefit calculations went a bit further than the next quarter since fossil fuels will directly and indirectly incur costs much higher than the short term benefits.
love your channel, clear vision.
Great analysis. Keep it up!

Watching this January 30, 2022, when Russia is threatening a Ukraine invasion. So, by forcing Juncker to build LNG processing plants to receive US LNG, it seems Trump has strengthened the EU’s hand against Putin’s NG blackmail …..
"Funny" how "petrodollar", "UN Voting" and "concessions for energy dependence" didn't make the cut.
@meaturama You mean to tell me that you don't know what the petrodollar is? OMG!!!!
@@TreeLBollingTreeMan Not surprising!...Petrodollar was introduced in the 1970s Nixon era....today it is not as relevant as a lot of countries do a lot of their oil business in alternative currencies etc...but petrodollar is still the easiest, most efficient way because US Dollar is very stable, reliable (for nearly a century now) and the most used reserve currency in the world..
Josh vs Grant ,who is better?
My vote for josh
who's who again?
As far as I'm concern this video completly misses the mark. America exporting gas/lng pumped thru pipelines that the American tax payer paid for, just for quick big bucks for the major oil companies. All this exported gas to keep Asian and European houses toasty warm . The pipeline welder had to go home to a cold house because the American Government can't/won't build the pipeline infrastructure to the residential areas for our own homes. Let American gas stay in America.
Great upload.
Who leaves a dislike on this video? I mean he's not Simon but still 😂
Although a source of profit for the USA, selling LNG outside the USA is not a necessity. The US domestic market for methane gas will do nicely and US domestic users will benefit from lower energy costs. Also, the USA could produce more gas by pumping domestic waste down into a dried up oil well, thus converting it into a "digestor" in which the decomposition of organic waste produces methane. Also, the technology of using cultured bacteria to decompose "biomass" (excess vegetation from forest lands) could be added to the energy production stream. Using better forest management techniques could significantly reduce wildfires in western states of the USA, while adding to the manufactured energy stream.
watching this in 2022, & wow the foreshadowing.. it’s like i’m watching an old episode of the Simpsons
You forgot to tell how the United States imposed sanctions on the companies participating in the Nord Stream 2 project. Because of this, the laying of pipes has stopped. But Russia considered this moment and bought a vessel for pipe-laying in advance. The funny thing is that this ship was moving from the Black Sea to the construction site of the Nord Stream, accompanied by a warship. Because without him he would not have made it.
That´s too one of the main reasons for which they want a pretext to impose sanctions on Russia...

10:25 - "When half the gas the hits Germany comes from Russia" - Actually 59,9% comes not from Russia...
Do we want to increase energy dependence on US or Kremlin? Why not both? Or neither?
Both US and Russia can use gas for extortion, question though, have Russia used it for this directly already? Because US is already doing exactly that for 2 years now.
When choosing between increased heating bill that also includes US hegemony, I'll prefer to stay with Russian hegemony, 1 hegemony is still better than 2, one of which haven't been a great ally lately.
wow I just left the LNG Project in Cameron Louisiana 🇺🇸working 5 years? three more train to go I hope they start very soon
Awesome video
Great video!!!
ACTUALLY... Germany has now 55% renewable energies (energy-charts de/energy_pie.htm?year=2020 (replace space with dot)) ... sth. that also could be mentioned in the video... and: there are also energy pipelines from Iran: the USA didnt want and did everything to destroy this trade opportunity. Not trading will not make these places less closed/ autocratic.
Hydrocarbons are over for the United States fracking is only viable at $50 a barrel... the companies that were fracking got by with low interest loans which kept payroll going but they're never going to pay off the loans... the piper is still piping
does China want LNG resources? yes, does China want to buy from USA? no, thank you, we Chinese want to be an independent country, not a puppet of USA
European Union’s Natural Gas necessity is a matter of global security, and as long as Russia 🇷🇺 is controlling EU energy supplies & needs, Russia will continue to dominate & dictate Europe’s economic & political policies.
This is why the US 🇺🇸 needs to step in and replace the European Union’s needs & dependence on Russian Natural Gas.
No ads hurray
Yeaaahh ok grant - I’m sold - you’ve won over my brain waves
The new LNG is hydrogen. Should do an episode on Australia.
This video aged well
No point to sell to China when Russia is right there and it can be piped in anyway no point for China to buy US gas other than to keep them happy
This explains a lot, I don't like how the new pipes go around Ukraine and Poland. Greetings from Kraków (Poland).
Why should Russia lay its pipeline through the antisemitic and anti-Russian country where anti-Russian sentiments are diligently nurtured from early childhood. I dont even know another country in the world where animal hatred towards Russia is so well supported by government.
Interesting opinion.. I have a different take on it all.. but I often keep it to myself because I am an investor
That is the original reasons why the Syrian war broke a massive gas reserve and strategic location and that why you saw all the major power in the world interfered directly
And everyone's racing to build pipelines to Europe via Syria
@@mehmedv3865 not precisely the pipeline will go through turkey but the extra reserves are in Syria and there is the Asian market not only Europe

This information has dissappeared utterly from mediaspeak but British researchers have determined natural gas is burned as dirtily as other fossils. Don't know if it need be this way.

Kinda sad that countries are still using so much gas.
Gas is comparatively much clearner than coal and petroleum.
Vaman Singh Yes. At least there’s that. But it’s still bad. The reason that the switch to gas occurred is not because of how cleaner it is though, but because it’s less expensive. So pollution still takes a back seat sadly.
