Why did the government order ahead from other countries. Why wait until the winter is here.

[internationaltutor]

The energy crisis can have far reaching negative implications in many industries.

How has blocking ns2 helped? Why did the EU want to buy gas a spit prices and then.moan that the price is high. Why not ask why the EU didnt full their storage centers? Much eaiser to blame Russia aye. Probally blame Russia for the wind not blowing and the sun not shinning. No one to blame but themselfs

[BB-cfgx]

Yes yes yes. There is no climat€ crisi$ but there is a dangerous energy crisi$ that will lead to poverty and famine if not urgently addressed.

[meh]

Soo it's preferable to have another country destroy their environment while at the same time criticizing them for lack of environment concerns and contribution climate change.

What extraction method do they use? Horizontal drilling / pressure differential / fracking...? Thank you

[Diwana]

Gazprom will supply by gas contracts. Where are the gas contracts???

[jeffstrong]

S Korea should help Netherland with LNG tankers for not to sell ASML equipment to Taiwan. Selling ASML equipment is threat when China invade Taiwan.

Time to produce more wind farms, solar panels and hydrogen. In the mean time, get good winter clothing and insulate your homes well. Let this winter be a motivation for Netherlands to be the first European nation to go green.🌴

[henkdevries]

The houses in Nederlands are all on low energetic gas nothing on russian or nordic so LIES

[Zoza]

A lot of Dutch houses are converted into electricity only, which means no more gas for cooking or heating.

Unless some parts of The Netherlands are still using gas, we cannot go back to gas any longer since the effort of installing the pipe infrastructure took literally a year of work.

[tmuxor]

Go nuclear. Decrease your carbon emissions.

[transittown]

Gas and fossil fuels are so bad for the planet. We’re on a mission to save the planet

[anaherajones]

Why blame Russia when the US and Europe itself blocked ns2?

[renekuipers]

Make Russia poor again ..usa lng gaz ...in the Dutch TTT..system.

[luifernandi]

Can they be empty bc you have being using more than usual? Oh but like always with rich countries they always want to be served first. Stop abusing others fixed your problems yourself.

[noneshere]

It wasn't Russia who fired the USSR BUK missile.

[georgepengelly]

Atomic., gas and coal is the only reliable answer.

Access to Cheap and RELIABLE Energy (so called carbon fuels Only) is the single most important element of economic prosperity which in turn is the foundation of our modern, 1st world society. Fraudulent 'renewables' are Neither cheap NOR RELIABLE. They simply are not a serious option.
