Norway, Poland open new gas pipeline as Nord Stream leaks • FRANCE 24 English
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2022
- As European leaders warned of sabotage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, Poland and Norway inaugurated a new conduit that will reduce dependence on Russian gas. It underscores the urgency of EU economies' search for new energy sources. Also in the show: correspondents Nick Spicer and Anne Mailliet report on the German businesses being forced to close because of high energy costs, and the pound sterling stabilizes a day after historic losses.

Makes me wonder how it happens that the other pipeline so conveniently was sabotaged 🤔
Well ask USA.
Biden did that
it was not sabotaged, it was ATTACKED.
Ask Biden dawg. Its like were literally all-in in fckng eu right now. From tied up sanctions to sabotage feels like eu gonna break anytime soon
@@truxton1000 can we ask gazprom instead?
Really? How opportune to have a new pipeline immediately after sabotaging the old one!
Smart move IMO!
I hope it goes boom

What has been Putins response? NATO has 150 tactical Nukes in EU they would be willing to deploy if they were at war, so its hilarious to see them warning Putin not to do it.

It is too much of a coincidence where on one side the Baltic pipeline opens and the other side Nord Stream is sabotaged.
It's pretty obvious it's no coincidence no coincidence there's a lot of dirty hands in this the most dirty are of course my country the United States who benefits the most. And of course Norway and Holand benefit too and a lot of people think Holand was involved with the bombing. Why isn't this considered a terrorist act?
Also that Biden threatened to take out the Nord stream back in February if Russian tanks crossed Ukrainian lines. Coincidence??🤔
It’s a special CIA op. To make Europe dependent on American LNG and weaken Russia.
Let me guess? MSM will blame Puttin for blowing up his own pipe line? Thank goodness we can get our "news" from real people.

These people are saying that the 6 billion cubic meters of gas from Norway is going to help Europe. What they didn't tell you in this report is that the EU consumes 500 billion cm of gas. Why do you suppose they left that fact out? You don't have to be a mathematician to figure out this pipeline is pure optics and won't do anything to help in the energy crisis.
Keep the general public fooled, it is good for next election 🤣
it's barely 5% supply of 500mcubic meters... the propaganda of a solution is preferred to saying the whole truth
Finally, someone with a brain. Thanks
That gas is meant for Poland needs
Its pipeline to Poland and Denmark not whole europe
I'm impressed that they built that new pipe between Poland and Norway to come up from the floor of that conference room for a few meters.
I wondered for a second if that valve wheel actually works
😆
I hope the actual pipe is a lot bigger than that
Can't fool you.
that has a name - hipocrisy
I truly think that the United States and Poland blew up the Russian German gas pipeline and this is why Poland's former foreign minister said thank you US. The US and Poland have been working very closely together and Poland has been the biggest buyer globally of US military arms and the US and Poland are building the largest US military base in Poland.
The US military is so embedded in all NATO territories that we Europeans have no option but be pants down. At the moment there is nothing that can challenge the hegemony of the US.
The question is will Germany call out its master for the sabotage and risk punishment in the process? Or will it turn a blind eye and keep its head bowed?
They’ve already decided not to pay attention on this attack.
Didn’t know that you can easily bend over a whole economically powerful country like this. Basically US wants to ruin their wealth.
Wait and see. I hope this kind of dirty tricks to your allies will not produce new problems.
My guess, turn a blind eye unfortunatelly for Europe. WEF decided...
Germany needs to stand up.
Who says germany didn't do this themselves, it worked for Cortez for his troops in Mexico. Burning ships and bridges is an effective moral booster.
One pipeline is blown another is open…SUS

Strange. Very strange. I wonder who was responsible for the pipeline leaks.

America has no benefit whatsoever.

what a weird coincidence!
The probability that Russia carried out the attack is almost zero. Moscow, to prevent the transit of gas, could have simply closed the taps, simulating an accident in its own territory, not abroad, or, more simply, other maintenance work, as already done previously. Sending a Russian naval unit into the shallow waters of the Baltic to carry out sabotage in an area heavily controlled by NATO forces would be foolish, because if the saboteurs were discovered Moscow would have made an international fool. The risk is not worth the candle. I note that the two explosions were not simultaneous and that the first would have alerted the NATO ships present in the area, making the success of the second sabotage even more difficult. If it were so easy to sabotage the marine gas pipelines without being discovered, why not blow up the new gas pipeline between Norway and Poland that has just been inaugurated, if the goal is to reduce gas supplies to the European continent?
Some say that the attack was committed in order not to make Gazprom pay penalties for any failure to supply. Of course, with all the Western sanctions and the seizure of Russian assets in the West that Russia has suffered so far, is now Gazprom also expected to pay the penalties? Moscow would certainly have blocked any penalties.
The situation, after the annexation of the Donbas territories, is destined to worsen rapidly.
If the Russians use nuclear weapons, the embarrassment will be entirely for the West: to do nothing and show that Ukraine basically does not matter to us except as a means of weakening Putin's regime, or intervening to provoke the Third War World and the disappearance of humanity from planet Earth?
The only way to sabotage a pipeline isn’t to send out special forces they could simply load it up with things that’s not supposed to be in it and it will end badly very quickly. The best is that you can then convince people you’re somehow not responsible and get them making conspiracy theories to further destabilize the west it’s very smart by the Russians.
Cool story bro
Not suspicious at all.
No way it was sabotage
How much of Poland's imports come by sea? Just curious with the shipping lanes being closed whether the pipeline boom-job wasn't intended to somehow put pressure on Polish supplies, with them being somewhat amplified currently..
Approximately: 50% by pipelines, 30% by sea, 20% domestic production. Now 98% storage facilities are full. And Poland has much one of the greates storage capacity (relative to consumption) in Europe.
@@KrzysiekWawrytko Thank you. Sorry, I meant in general, not merely energy though.

I wonder who blew up the Nord Stream 1 and 2? Just who would benefit? .....maybe someone with a brand new pipeline? Just saying!
Wouldn't it be a surprising coincidence if the new pipeline also 'accidentally' ... now, how should we describe it... 'unexpectedly began to leak?'
Can we know the capacity of this gas pipeline? How does it compare with NS1?
Too small.It is not enough for EU.
@@yuchenjing7553 Small but not very small.
Germany just signed oil and gas deals with the Saudis and Qataris.
Israel, Egypt, Africa, and countries near russia'a own borders are lining up to supply Europe.
Europe will steadily reduce its dependence on russian energy supplies.
With the ruin of Russia's industrial and manufacturing sector as well as the decline in other sectors of the economy like tourism, banking and finance coupled with the loss of major fossil fuel clients, it's easy to predict the massive contraction of the russian economy for years and years to come-perhaps, even decades.
@@rainieresguerra4780
Delivery date?
@@sebestyenmolnar6372 russian gas delivery to Europe was about 155Bcm.
Russia is not the only supplier of gas to Europe.
Capacity:
Baltic pipe 10 billion m3 per year.
Nord Stream I 55 billion m3 per year.
Nord Stream I was built to replace Ukrainian Transgas which was supplying Ukraine and other European countries, Baltic pipe was built because Poland refused to join German-Russian project Nord Stream due to the political reasons. Poland had concerns that Russia will use gas dependence to blackmail countries involved in the project.
CNN : Osama bin ladin attacked nordstream 2 . and prime minister is worried about fish lives for gas leaking.
Interesting timing
this can only be America or Ukrain the only one interested to hurt Russia but most of all Europe as the voices got louder to open Northstorm 2
Are seriously serious or you just getting over an overdose intake of buzz?
@@viktorsamuel4025 I think he is a Russian bot :D
Ukraine doesn't have the technical expertise to do this kind of sabotage. The CIA does.
The Northstorm 2 is really in danger. Extreme gales and torrential downpour. Glad its a downgrade from its predecessor.
Time to wake up to reality ? It is hard for many Europeans but they finally get it. America is never a friend that proove lies in all the wars they fought and lost and in the worst war crimes commited and human right abuses. Unless you plan to rewrite the history. Americans how ever love the doublestandard and since very few Americans even are aware of a subject called history it is understandable that they live in la la land
Now we have a prime suspect
Haven't looked it up yet. How much gas can Norway provide or do they get it some where?
Timing is perfect though.
Norway has LOTS of gas.
It goes right through Denmark close to where I live
Here we go. We just found who sabotaged Nord Stream...
Poles really take care for thier intetests opennig this project despite of German pressures in the past
You are right. Germans tried many a time to sabotage this project since its inception at the beginning in 2016.
Btw: without the Support of Germany this pipeline could have never been realized since it is receiving gas from a pipeline that goes from Norway to Germany.
@@arnoldusswarzeneggerus9382 it was constructed despite German obstackles. Btw. Gas in this pipeline comes from the fields bought by Poles on Norwegian shelf
Which energy company?
the germany economy is based on 2 pillars: cheap Russian gas (even lower than other EU countries) and cheap Electric energy coming from French nuclear power plants. But with the prices growing Germany will suffer more than all the other EU countries because of huge difference of real prices today.
Germany is currently exporting electricity to france because their reactors are not working. Germany only has become an importer of electricity in 2019
EU is all tied together economically. Germany won't be alone. Don't worry

Funny coincidence...
Gas pipeline destruction could be better mitigated with more sensitive seismographs, as well as using them to triangulate where ruptures are occurring...that could also be paired with satellite visuals of bubbling indicative of ruptured gas lines
...a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic methane eating bacteria could also be used to reduce the amount of methane contamination of nearby sea and atmosphere...
I can't imagine that they haven't installed safety measures in case there's ever been a leak in order to shut down the gas from Spewing into the ocean.
The gas was already shut down before sabotage.
What coincidence that North Stream 1 and 2 were blown up. Hmm quite suspicious
Norway doesn't have a whole whole lot of gas. Not enough for all of Europe.
Thanks for reporting
What happened to the competition?
What are the odds this pipeline gets shutdown too out of retaliation
Why would a supply from a EU nation require retaliation? Norway hasn't invaded another country, the way Russia has.
Nobody can know. But the two other gas lines were now inactive, probably for eternity, and thus of no value. Sabotaging them could send a message that the same could happen to other lines too.
