According to the U.S. Energy Information Association (IEA), U.S. storage of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is 12% below the five-year average (LINK). Additionally, the IEA is expecting the U.S. to export 11.7 billion cubic feet of LNG per day during the fourth quarter of 2022 — up 17% from the third quarter. The destination of that export is Europe.
Consider that 43% of U.S. households use LNG for home heating, and power suppliers use LNG to create electricity. With the massive 2022 exports of LNG to Europe (+17% in fourth quarter alone), that means lower domestic supplies and increased prices here in the United States for electricity and home heating. We are seeing and feeling these massive price increases right now. As a result, consider this reality….
Not only are U.S. taxpayers directly paying for the majority of costs in Ukraine, but we are also subsidizing the European Union by exporting LNG and driving up the price here at home.
We are directly paying Ukraine, and indirectly paying Europe to maintain gas sanctions against Russia. This is the reality of the current situation as created by the Biden administration.
Now, consider this. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen held a press conference in Brussels today, announcing five initiatives to contain the expensive EU energy crisis: “The goal is clear. We must cut the revenues of Russia that Putin uses to finance this atrocious war against Ukraine. And now our work is paying off. At the start of the war, gas from Russian pipelines accounted for 40% of all imported gas. Today it has dropped to only 9% of our gas imports. These are tough times. But I am convinced that Europeans have the economic strength, the political will and the unity to maintain the upper hand,” she said. The United States and Norway are the primary suppliers of gas to the EU to fill the void.
Commissar von der Leyden’s five initiatives include:
(1) Conservation of electricity through forced and mandated cuts in electricity use. The amount of the cut has yet to be determined but reducing demand through forced curtailment of electricity use is the first approach. [Insert California as an example here in the United States.]
(2) A cap on the profit generated by energy suppliers who use renewable energy like wind and solar. The renewable industry has lower costs, yet they are profiting from the top line increase in delivered electricity. The EU commissar is proposing to confiscate the profits of Green Energy suppliers, direct the funds to the member states and then use those funds to subsidize the energy costs of poorer EU citizens.
(3) A cap on the profits generated by traditional fossil fuel energy suppliers (oil, coal, nuclear, gas electricity generation), and the diversion of those profits following the same formula as above.
(4) Banking support and financial liquidity for smaller regional energy providers who are having short term financial issues as they must pay massive amounts of money for the raw material needed to generate electricity. Essentially, the cost of coal, oil and LNG has skyrocketed, and there is a lag between the time they energy company must pay for the fuel source and the time the customer pays the electricity bill. The inbound fuel costs (new) are so extreme the inbound payments for prior electricity (old) are not covering the cost of the new supplier purchase.
(5) A price cap on Russian natural gas. To accompany the increased import of Norwegian and U.S. gas. This sounds like a bizarro effort to manipulate the market which could backfire. If Russian gas is cheaper than EU market gas, the smart energy providers will purchase the Russian gas.
Not a single word about increasing the supply of any traditional energy resource. These ideologues are so committed to the cult of climate change and renewable energy, they are intent on destroying the economy in order to lower demand to the level of their windmills and solar farms. This is madness, absolute madness.

What We Know About Hunter Biden’s Deal with a Chinese Energy Company
Hunter offered to use his contacts to help identify investment opportunities for Ye’s company, CEFC China Energy, in liquefied-natural-gas projects in the United States. After the dinner, Ye sent a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter’s hotel room with a card thanking him for their meeting. “I was, like, Oh, my God,” Hunter said. (In Kathleen’s court motion, the diamond is estimated to be worth eighty thousand dollars. Hunter said he believes the value is closer to ten thousand.)

How’s China doing on energy supply and costs?
/s
Just peachy.
China has been reselling Russian gas to Europe.
Funny, how that’s working out
As well as a India.
They said they need the rest of the US’s petroleum reserve. Biden said sorry, it’s already empty.
Why fiddle with Ukraine and Taiwan. The US armed forces has depleted their fuel to condut a campaign, they are giving their heavy and light weapons to Ukraine, which will to be sold on the black market, they have grounded the F 35 fighter jets because of engine issues. This makes the homeland very vulnerable. I am sure that Russia and China is thinking the same things.
Joe Xiden is literally a Chinese agent under terms of FARA.
The FBLie has simply refused to acknowledge or pursue this.
Ukraine has been used to alienate Russia, to transform a difficult partner into an outraged opponent, and drive all its resources on the cheap into the waiting maw of China.
In 20 years or less, China will be running planet Earth. The USA is being neutered by the WEF and our politicians in both parties are on board because they are being paid off with tremendous sums of money. Traitors. There are only a handful of patriots and they don’t have the numbers to do anything to stop it.

So interesting, Sir Francis, thank you! Speaking as a total layperson with no real knowledge of how the entire energy production cycle works, it’s always struck me as crazy that in the idiotic climate change hysteria, we are abandoning all these energy experts, who know more about how to conserve and extract the last iota of energy from the earth.
The companies that the leftists despise and blame for all the global warming are exactly the ones best equipped to solve the problems (such as they are).
Insanity.
p.s. “global warming”
@Sir Francis Bacon — Well, wherever and whatever communists do, they are sure to screw up to create horror … such as explode a coal mine to genocide a specific region of Americans … or cause a chain reaction of underground mines across a wider region to destroy swaths of Earth . Yup, coal mine explosions will create a lot of fear, confusion, starvation, and human death. So, discerning communists’ evil thoughts and deeds is crucial to survival in these end times.
It takes energy to create new forms of energy. Just sayin’…
Elected republicans are fine with all of this. Hardly a peep out of them except to demand more taxpayer cash for a corrupt, money laundering country (Ukraine). You can write the talking-points for January right now….it’s all Putin’s fault. Most Americans will believe it too.
Nat gas prices are already sky-high and winter is still 3 months away in most areas. Just wait until January. Many people will have to choose between food or heat.

China Energy Investment signs MOU for $83.7 billion in West Virginia projects
By Reuters Staff
BEIJING (Reuters) – China Energy Investment Corp, the world’s largest power company by asset value, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to invest $83.7 billion in shale gas, power and chemical projects in West Virginia, the U.S state said on Thursday.
The gas and power agreement marks the first overseas investment for newly founded China Energy, which formed from a merger of China Shenhua Group [SHGRP.UL], the country’s largest coal producer and China Guodian Corp [CNGUO.UL], one of its top five utilities.
The touted investment would extend over a 20-year period, covering projects for power generation, chemical manufacturing and the underground storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), West Virginia’s Department of Commerce said in its announcement.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-asia-energy-west-virginia-idUSKBN1D90S9
That 83.7 billion investment in the MOU never happened. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/25/joe-manchin-questions-chinas-84-billion-investment-in-west-virginia.html ……… After The China Virus Plandenic and other national security concerns, it will never happen.
that’s a nice follow-on to your comment just up-thread, Sir Francis
Holy crap. We are selling ourselves out. I’m beginning to think we deserve what is coming our way.
I don’t deserve what’s coming, I voted for Trump.
Ponder this:
EU President Von der Leyen is not an elected official.

So who would you say arranged for the EU LPN gas prices to go up, and who will be most responsible for your heating bills going up? The Biden’s and China is my guess.

The Winter War
Over the last three months or so it has become quite clear that the Western alliance has decided to commit energy suicide in order to continue to wage its lunatic proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Russia and China are being strengthened by the West’s foolhardy sanctions against Russia, and Europe will be impoverished as it shivers in the dark this coming winter.
The following article explains in detail what is happening in the worldwide energy markets, and especially in Europe.
War is only a cover. The real goal is the destruction of the Western World. They are succeeding

It seems that German “leaders” throughout recent history think they are smarter, more powerful and better than anyone else in the world. These German leaders arrogance has already caused two World Wars.
After two humiliating and destructive defeats, it appears they have learned nothing. The big question for the German people and their EU Davos cronies, along with German Klaus Swabb’s WEF Great Reset BBB becomes; Will the arrogance and power hungry attitude of these idiots be the cause of a third self destruction? 🤔
I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Can’t say she wasn’t warned. They mocked Trump for trying to warn them with common sense. The least a decent person could do is apologize. Screw them.
I forebear commenting on items 2-5, which could only come from the mind of a bureaucrat who has never run a business or met payroll. Given the omnipresent chimney throughout northern Europe, I wonder if wood will be making a comeback this winter in response to #1. Ah, but I’m guessing that it is a crime to burn wood in much of northern Europe. The pollution, the pollution, Greta screams … when she’s not simply ranting and raving. Can’t wait to start reading stories about citizens being jailed for the crime of burning wood to keep their families warm. And, northern Europe being northern Europe (the apex of enlightenment, don’t you know), the jail cells will probably be toasty warm. How many people will commit crimes in the hope of being arrested and thereby having their food and heating supplied at public expense?
Climate religion is not fully inculcated. Trump’s election showed the backlash all of their timelines have been accelerated as a result

Well…the plants need uranium, and guess which country has enriched our supply, but now the US will no longer purchase from that country?
https://www.rt.com/news/561622-russian-uranium-us-imports/
Wasn’t Obama the one who shuttered the U.S. uranium enrichment program?
didn’t they sell some of Uranium resources to Russia back in the day?
Wasn’t Hillary Clinton involved in the approval of selling the US Uranium to Russia? Meanwhile her husband, Bill, received $500,000 from Russia for a speech while they aided Russia in creating a Russian Silicon Valley, plus many, many donations to their Clinton Foundation.
Recently she said they were reactivating their foundation because of the new Ukraine war.
We desperately need to follow where all of our billions of dollars are going once it’s released to Ukraine. I do wonder how many politicians’/plus their family members/friends’ institutes/foundations, shell companies, etc. are scooping it all up. This must end! How can we stop this obvious corruption?
1. This may expose the Green, Christian Democrat, and Socialists lunacy.
2. I posted elsewhere – I met a Spaniard who was on vacation here (West Coast), and he said after their recent elections it came out that Putin paid / bribed the Green NGOs to fight their own energy production, and support buying NG from Russia (Nord Stream 2).
The payoff? 200 Billion Euros.
I’ll try to find the source.
P.S. Virtually every European country is looking at restarting decommissioned nuclear plants, and also adding new LNG terminals (Germany has none).
I read that Germany is reactivating their coal plants
Ensuring Americans AND Europeans freeze to death this winter!
Folks, let’s all remember, we’re all in this together, you know, for the greater good.
We will all make a sacrifice of our own quality of life and financial freedom for the benefit of Europe in their struggles with the great Russian devil. We all chose this path through our respective representative governments, who were elected with incredible margins of victory and given such strong mandates.
Of course, our “elected” representatives and certain important individuals will still have lives of comfort and opulence because they need to represent our interests in the world and cannot possibly carry out their sovereign duties without taxpayer funded luxury.
The US is exporting 11.7 bcfd to Europe, Sundance reports. How much is that in lay terms?
A mid-size electrical generation station will burn roughly 1 bcfd (billion cubic feet/day. A mid-size city will have several plants of this size outlying the city. Ergo, 11.7 bcfd ain’t much when spread across Europe.
A typical onshore gas well will produce roughly 1 bcf in the totality of its ~25 year lifetime. Exceptions abound.
A typical onshore gas well will produce half of its lifetime volume in the 1st 4 years of it productive life. The 2nd half of the well’s ultimate production totals will require another ~20 years to migrate to the surface. Unlike diamonds, oil and gas wells have a limited productive lifespan.
The gas wells of The Netherlands are few in number but monstrous in production volume. The formation there is very porous. I had a member of NAM tell me of their plans to purchase LNG form Qatar and elsewhere to re-fill their depleted reservoirs. In effect, they would become a storage bank for Europe.
I was there 9-10 years ago at a Gas Well De-Liquification Conference.

Actual prices:
1. Electricity – prices up 40 – 50%.
“… The consumer comparison website Verivox assumes that the average price in the coming year will be over 45 cents per kilowatt hour. That would be around 50 percent more than in the last three years, when the average price ranged between 30 and 32 cents.”
2. Gas increases:
Norway – $10 gallon
Germany – $7.50 gallon
Notes: “The extreme drought has led to the failure of hydroelectric power plants and cooling systems. Coal and oil for power plants can no longer be transported on rivers due to low water levels. In France, which gets 70 percent of its electricity from nuclear power, 29 of 56 nuclear reactors are currently idle because they cannot be properly cooled or need urgent maintenance.”
What started the war?
“The Ukraine war was not triggered by President Putin’s decision to attack the country militarily, as reactionary and short-sighted as this was. The US, Germany and other Western powers had been systematically preparing and provoking it since 2014, when they brought a pro-NATO regime to power in Kiev through a right-wing coup and massively rearmed the country. Now, they are sabotaging any approach to a negotiated settlement, supplying billions worth of weapons, and directing the war in the background.”

They want all of us to consume less, travel less, while the wealthy are unburdened by these shortages and high prices because they can easily pay. None of the politicians are looking for a solution. They expect you to suck it up and this is entirely deliberate. All the while, the political leaders make cryptic statements to make you think they are doing SOMETHING to fix this when in actuality they intend to do no such thing.
Case in point: they could certify and turn on Nordstream 2 pipeline within the next hour to pump massive amounts of gas from Russia to Germany, but Germany refuses. The fix is simple. They aren’t going to do it. Likely ever.
Some levity for all of us. The below link is to a very brief Twitter exchange between ABC News 7 in Los Angeles and the Oil and Gas Worker’s Association.

Hopefully most of you understand this will be the same model for food shortages. Be careful relying on local farms. It may work but there’s a chance these people will seize it. They will not think twice to sell it overseas in the name of fairness.
Look I know it sounds crazy, seems impossible. Resiliency in all aspects right now is king. The more sources of something you can tap the better. We must adapt and better to get ahead of any potential issues.
Why do you see a food shortage?
Here in a 100-mile radius where 65% of the nation’s produce, 75% of the nation’s fruits, 38% increase in production using 15% less water. People growing tomatoes on their windowsills make me wonder.

When commodities spike in one region, the sellers sure would like to tap into that premium market. Costs then trend accordingly to chase the commodity that is looking longingly offshore.
…………“The goal is clear. We must cut the revenues of Russia that Putin uses to finance this atrocious war against Ukraine. And now our work is paying off. At the start of the war, gas from Russian pipelines accounted for 40% of all imported gas. Today it has dropped to only 9% of our gas imports. These are tough times. But I am convinced that Europeans have the economic strength, the political will and the unity to maintain the upper hand,”………..
And how cold will she be this winter? It’s the long, drawn out, protracted way of saying of the commoners; “Let them eat cake”.

This is just a bunch of “look we’re doing .. something!”
Remember when the German chancellor visited Canada a few weeks ago and Canada vowed to help out with LNG exports.
It was a big press event.
How many LNG terminals do you think Canada has to supply Germany in the present day?
It is ONE… one active LNG terminal and some “approvals” of future projects.
Oh and this is an IMPORT only terminal. Not an EXPORT terminal.
The Liberals in Canada have been doing a hate campaign against pipelines to get Gas/Oil from West to East Canada.
So Germany will get their gas from Canada in about… 10 years I think. 😀
Plus worldwide problem: there are not enough LNG tankers in the whole world to make up for the gas that Europe is no longer getting. And shipping that much gas halfway across the world is not economical, it will drive the price UP. Gas from North America will not be cheap or abundant enough to drive Germany’s industry (aluminum smelters, chemical industry.. BASF remember) These factories are already closing down. With a loss of jobs and economic prosperity as a result.
So yea when are we going to start arresting politicians for spreading fake news.
“The goal is clear. We must cut the revenues of Russia that Putin uses to finance this atrocious war against Ukraine. And now our work is paying off. At the start of the war, gas from Russian pipelines accounted for 40% of all imported gas. Today it has dropped to only 9% of our gas imports. These are tough times.
Really? You jerks would be buying it from Russia if they would sell it to you! Think I’m going to barf at this virtue signaling BS! Who believes that crap?
Biden’s next address to the nation should include a statement to the American people about the natural gas shortages in Europe and should say something like: “We will be selling natural gas to our European allies, especially Sweden and Ukraine in order to sustain them. To that end, they will have gas to cook and heat their homes while we in the US will do our part to eliminate climate change. In order to achieve my goal, we will let them eat cake while you eat bugs.“
Day after day, I run it through my head how to stop the prog suicide half the country is in. How do you deal with a cult? What if your child was in a cult? What would you do? The same punishment you put on Americans will apply to you also. They cannot be talked down off the ledge. Tomorrow lib media has assured them Trump will be frog marched to jail for some imaginary crime. Never mind they control everything. My only answer is they have to feel the pain that media can’t cover up by changing the definition of pain. History repeats itself.
Ursula van Der Leyen (as well as the rest of the EU commission) are unelected bureaucrats who’s ideology is singlehandedly destroying the EU. Perhaps, in the long term, this is a good thing, as the EU has begun to usurp the national sovereignty of its member states. But, consider the rational here: And now our work is paying off. At the start of the war, gas from Russian pipelines accounted for 40% of all imported gas. Today it has dropped to only 9% of our gas imports.
This is the equivalent of saying that my income was able to pay for 40% of my bills, and now it can pay for 9%. How utterly stupid. At the behest of the US and UK, the EU is sacrificing its own citizens in order to keep the cash cow of Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the world, afloat.
Remember, we’re all in this together!
