^ 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.
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.
It's amazing how quickly the private sector can do things when the Gov't gets the hell out of the way.
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."
