    ^ Sums up the European mentality, which is creeping into Canada.

    Make rules, lots of rules, even if they're pointless. Just make sure there's a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy to navigate so that some poor suckers need to be paid to create and navigate it.

    UK may institute paying customers to not use electricity. Commies, lol.

    Exactly what the eco terrorists want, people freezing to death.

    Germany pens a 15-year deal with Qatar for LNG.

    What a missed opportunity for Canada.

    Just 10 more years until our first one is built and running. So close.
    So reconcile, though.

    Yup, its tough to get around energy limitations.

    Some say that Canada supplying Germany would be more like trying to run an electrical power line from Toronto to Berlin - just plain silly.

    Although I've mentioned before, it makes more sense for the USA to burn wood for rocket fuel in Houston, than it does to burn diesel to ship wood chips to Europe. If you scientifically believe in efficiency of production of energy. Globally speaking, Artemis should be powered by burning wood (converted to electricity and then hydrogen) if you want to maximize efficiency based on energy production and shipping losses. Germany still burns 6% wood for home heating in the rural areas.



    The number of trees you would have to burn to make it to the moon would be a political scandal.

    BTW: I'm pretty sure the "waste" slash piles are simply being dried naturally, as its much more efficient to transport a half dried log than a green one. Its still stupidly expensive energywise if it ends up in europe though. Never understood anyone who spent a full tank of diesel ($200?) to drive to BC forest to get a load of wood, pure insanity.

    Burn natural gas to extract oilsands to pipeline to Texas to refine into diesel to ship back to Canada to put into pickup truck to drive to forest to pickup wood (to put on diesel boat to ship to Europe, to burn wood, to create heat)

    Because there is no way I'm replying to that other thread.
    Anyway, Euro's bringing in Natural gas price cap. Which will act as a supply cap as well. Good thing several euro nations are restarting some nukes, otherwise they'd be really fucked.

    I hope they didn't skip any safety protocols. LNG would be quite a bit bigger blast than Halifax 1917.

    So the Euro heatwave has taken away my chance to gloat about euros freezing to death this winter due to shortages and price spikes of natural gas.

    I mean, maybe I'll call that a draw....

    Let's wait until our resident LNG expert, kErT, tells us what the true facts are on there simple things.

    The private sector being who in this case? It’s a project that was run by a company owned by a Finnish crown corporation that is now being nationalized by the German government after they gave a 15B Euro bailout in the spring because the company is hemorrhaging money.


    We tried that kind of ‘private sector’ once in Canada, it wasn’t very popular.

    Nice alternative facts.

    The ship is called Höegh Esperanza. It is owned by Höegh LNG. Höegh is listed on the NYSE (HMLP).

    "Hoegh LNG Holdings said it had signed a binding 10-year time charter contract with the German government for the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Esperanza which will soon start serving the Uniper-led Wilhelmshaven facility."

    BERLIN, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Germany has completed the nationalization of embattled utility Uniper
    So the German government bought LNG to be delivered to a nationalized LNG facility, and you still see it as ‘government getting out of the way’?

    I’m all for trying this approach to “private sector” energy development in Canada (again), BTW.

    Which has the square root of nothing to do with the LNG project.

    Instead what you get is the air canada or utility companies. Genius.
