US Senate demanded to restore sanctions against Nord Stream 2 in full

Not everyone liked the decision of the US administration not to impose sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 AG operator and its owner. A group of senators demanded that the restrictions be restored in full.

The US Congress has received a new bill providing for the restoration of sanctions against companies involved in the construction of the gas pipeline. It was contributed by a group of Republican senators in the amount of 14 people. The American senators accompanied their demand to restore restrictions with statements such as: "America risks losing its global positions," "Putin will get a lever of pressure," "this will benefit Russia and Putin," and so on.

Recall that earlier the State Department refused to impose sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG, since it did not want to completely spoil relations with Germany. At the same time, the vessels participating in the construction of the gas pipeline still fall under the sanctions.

It is not yet clear how events will develop further, but the White House has already recognized the impossibility of stopping the construction of Nord Stream 2. According to spokeswoman Jen Psaki, the task of hindering the construction is almost impossible, since the gas pipeline is 95% built. At the same time, the White House emphasizes that they took "significant steps" to stop the project.

In turn, Gazprom said that it was taking all measures to complete the Nord Stream 2 project, but refused to talk about a specific date for its completion. The company also stressed that it is planned to provide additional gas supplies to Europe with the help of a new gas pipeline, and not in any other way.

[Machete]

The Illitki were outraged that they wanted to let their efforts go down the wind.

[Civil]

Question one:
A bunch of sanctions have already been introduced for Nord Stream -2, will taxes on Gazprom's revenues from gas supplies be blocked, losses from the imposed sanctions? Have the people tightened their belts to compensate for the loss of money from the sanctions, and will the collar be weakened after the launch?

[Murmur 55]

you would be more careful about collars, collars were put on dogs and slaves, if you are not satisfied with this state of affairs in the country, then no one is holding you, you just need to cut off the 5th point to learn the language of another country, master the profession you need there and move. And so screaming about collars and "bloody regime" will not lead to anything.

That is, the option of leaving the oligarchs with the thieves is not being discussed? Are the elements socially close to you?
Otherwise, everything suits me, I support Vladimir Vladimirovich in his tough stance towards the weak. Let the pressure continue.

Are those who were afraid to support Navalny as weak-willed?

He is also Gapon in a new incarnation - as Failure, simply Gapon. The weak are those who silently accepted the raising of the retirement age (which, by the way, the same Lech supported), those who silently watch how they raise taxes, rob pensioners, destroy medicine and have already finished off their education, those who endure corruption, bestial attitude towards themselves and towards nature from oligarchs, how greedy people raise prices for food, gasoline, utilities, building materials ... that's all. How helpfully they turn out their pockets on demand. When they are spat in the face of "professional patriots" talking about a wonderful vacation in Russia, and they themselves rest strictly in the West. Weak people.

[Pereira]

And so screaming about collars and "bloody regime" will lead nowhere.

Navalnyata tried to act. Has it led to anything?

[Murmur 55]

And Navalny had less to show everyone who is his OWNER then you look and there were more supporters.

[Pereira]

Others became his supporters not because For him, but because Against the government.
And who is his master is obvious.

[Murmur 55]

Then it turns out that those who joined Navalny not out of convictions, but because they are against the government, is even worse than I don't even know with whom to compare because they UNDERSTOOD that Alexei stavlenik of the United States and will merge Russia for the sake of the Capitol and still followed him. Blame for the crooked thoughts, the lack of education.

[Pereira]

The youngsters did not really understand.
And those who understood, acted on the principle - the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, the bourgeois revolution can be turned into a socialist one. If you remember, there was a successful precedent.

[Murmur 55]

Yes, but in that precedent it was watered. strength and was the leader, and now it is clear Navalny is a battering ram and a lightning rod and an extreme one, well then, who would jump out from behind the FBK to take advantage of the turmoil?

Everything will be found at the right time, no problem, no matter what quality. But why, like this, deliberately, lead the country to turmoil?

[Chersky]

It's not just SP-2. If it hadn't been, they would have invented sanctions for something else. For free ownership of Siberia, for example)))

[Murmur 55]

they, without any shame, hung up the case of 7 years ago on RF and started a dip. war. So the pretext for the sanction is not a problem at all.

[Pereira]

The Semorway is kept in reserve. We are waiting for sanctions for its use.

[Murmur 55]

There are so many reasons that I would not be surprised that the extinction of the dinosaurs and the genocide of the five-canthropes will be hanged on Russia.

[Pereira]

Speaking of genocide.
It is already considered common knowledge:
- In unleashing the PMA, Germany and Russia are equally responsible, with an increasing bias towards Russia from year to year.
- WWII similarly
New.
Turkey and Russia are equally responsible in the Armenian genocide. The Armenians will soon come to us for money. For some reason I am sure that progressive humanity will happily support this undertaking.

[Murmur 55]

I think that not only the Armenians, I will name the list only offhand, and if something the magistrates' courts will support them with PLEASURE

[Zaurbek]

This construction ... it has risen in price due to the sanctions. When calculating the price for gas, there is a formula that takes into account both transit and the price of oil, etc. Apparently, transit will rise in price. And settlements may not go through SWIFT and not in dollars.

[Bomb]

Prepare a new hole, no one thinks about the people there. They have their own country, somewhere far away.

[VORON538]

Well, about the preparation of the dupa, it's more for you, the Europeans
He turned out to be so insidious without a visa! And she may need more than one!

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

What the hell are you talking about?

Where are the people in Russia tightened their belts because of the sanctions? That raised taxes, increased the working week?

Or do you think the leader of Russia and the whole country should make concessions to the United States?

That is, if the United States does not like the fact that Russia sells gas to the EU, because this brings the country foreign exchange earnings, and Gazprom's taxes are more than 3,5 trillion rubles to the budget, then Russia should mother stop the construction of the pipeline ?! Just because the United States doesn't like it, so, among other things, is creating competition for American LNG?

Are you a citizen out of your mind?

[Bomb]

You don’t go to the store and don’t refuel gasoline? Do you get everything from the moon free of charge? Ah, you are one of those who benefit from sanctions, that I’m talking all sorts of nonsense here ..... open your eyes and count inflation over the past two years on the cost of a loaf of bread, at least. Just don't pour about 4% into your ears. None of the acquaintances' real income increased even by 25%.

[VORON538]

bomb, in your own words you describe your Ukraine, pretending to be a resident of Russia :))) Oh, these Ukrainian trolls :)))

[Bomb]

Dear what is there in Ukraine, I am absolutely not interested, unlike you, I do not take part in the discussion of the varieties of manure. Leave silly comments to yourself.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

I go to the store and see the rise in prices.

But firstly, the rise in prices and sanctions against Nord Stream 2 are in no way connected, the prices of food, metals and everything else are growing all over the world from the United States to Turkey and China, and secondly, no matter how they press Russia with sanctions, our country should not to make concessions where it is not beneficial for us, we must defend our interests with all forces, including armed ones, and not raise our hands to the top just because the United States and the collective West or Japan or China want it !!!

[nnm]

So that the vipers change places. Either the Democrats demanded proof from Trump that he was not our agent, now exactly the opposite - the Republicans howled that Biden was surrendering to the Russians.

[smart ass]

Well buddy johnny mccain stepped up

[Kisa]

but if Trump would have already voted for his impeachment, and in general would have been closed in prison for the announced meeting with Vova

[abrakadabre]

but if Trump would have already voted for his impeachment and in general would have been closed in prison

So they did not lag behind Trump. His companies, judging by the news, are in total scrutiny and under threat of criminal prosecution. Finish Donnie, ruin. To exclude even the smallest possibility of opposition. A very similar approach, as with Milosevic - it is not enough to jail, you have to physically finish off.

The German bourgeoisie will fight the devil for a profit of 300 percent.
The Germans are thinking of imposing sanctions against the United States.
The booze started.
So the US senators should take care of themselves a little.

[Mountain shooter]

They could not help but react. Now, while the law is being promulgated, then Biden will not sign it, then vacations, then the qualified majority will not be gathered ... "Fortune" has already finished its thread, and, probably, will take the second. And the "Chersky" is finally crawling through the deep-water section ... You look, the knot will untie. Otherwise it will freeze Europe ...

[Normal]

What does it matter to me if the construction of Nord Stream 2 will be completed or not?
Nothing will change in my life.
My salary will not increase from this.
The tariffs for the services of state monopolies will continue to grow.
All the same, gasoline and food will rise in price.
At the top, there will still be a character that has been permanent for more than 20 years.
All the same, for any reason, the state propaganda will go into hysterics.
I am not a football player of FC Zenit, not a beneficiary or a shareholder of Gazprom.
I do not care.

Have written a hundred times already. Money to the budget. Your son will go to a kindergarten or school built with money from gas from Nord Stream 2. Your mom and dad will be treated in a hospital funded from the budget. Etc. etc.

Etc. etc.

[Zaurbek]

Do you think that it will only get better with the withdrawal of industry from the country? A bad example may be, but under the USSR the population was not steamed in dollars .... because everything was produced in the USSR. We went from this in the opposite direction. And even money for oil was deposited offshore.

[Okolotochny]

under the USSR, the population was not steamed in dollars

However, the bulk of light industry products, about 40% of foodstuffs, complex machine tools and equipment were purchased in the USSR for dollars.

[Zaurbek]

This is what such projects are needed for.

And how do these ambitious plans fit in with the EU's decarbonization policies and, increasing the carbon tax and reducing the consumption of oil and gas. "In the European Union, by 2050, natural gas consumption may be reduced by 66-71% compared to 2015. This was announced on Tuesday, March 9, by the representative of the European Commission's Directorate General for Energy Katarina Sikou-Magni." For example, "the British oil giant BP, one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, unveiled a revolutionary new strategy in September, which states that the company will cut hydrocarbon production by 2030 percent and reduce emissions by 40-35 percent by 40. It will also stop investing in new oil and gas projects. and will shut down exploration. Instead, BP will channel money into green energy in order to be in time to become a leader in hydrogen energy. "

[Zaurbek]

In Europe, nuclear power plants will be cut, coal-fired plants ... this is how they started. How to compensate? Will they stop industrial growth? The gasification of the population will be stopped.

How to compensate?

"From 2020 to 2024, the European Union intends to install hydrogen electrolysers for the production of 1 million tons of hydrogen per year, then by 2030 the output will grow to 10 million tons. The accumulated hydrogen will be sent to a variety of industries, where it will become a source of energy."

[Brturin]

until 2024 .... now is the middle of 2021 and so far there is only a sketch of a hydrogen network ... how hydrogen will be transported, where it will be stored ... how many changes will be required in industry to switch from gas to hydrogen ... it is unlikely that hydrogen will go to the apartments of burghers ... And besides electrolysers, "green energy" should supply electricity to both the population and industrial enterprises ... and what to do in winter (if it is the same as now, when the gas storage facilities are empty) ... questions rather than answers ... and while gas will be pumped through the joint venture ... Are those 5 energy companies that invested their millions in the joint venture did not calculate these options ...

and nevertheless, however, this spring it turned out that they emptied their UGS facilities to almost 20 percent, although they entered with record reserves ... while the essence of the JV business will work, and there is hydrogen or ammonia ... the main issue is balancing the energy system with Taking into account the "instability" of its "green" component, when it is resolved, then ... skepticism disappears, but while the example of California in the heat and Texas in the cold do not add optimism, and the weather in the world has obviously "spoiled" ...

[VORON538]

Oil and gas are not only energy sources, but also raw materials for the chemical industry. And there is no way with an alternative.

[Zaurbek]

As far as I know ... the energy that hydrogen gives is less than the cost of producing it. Here we add its storage and transportation. By the way, they are considering a pipeline with hydrogen from us.

"The easiest and already quite cheap way to get hydrogen is electrolysis of water," says Vasily Borzenko, Head of the Hydrogen Technologies Laboratory at the Institute of High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences. "There are other technologies, cheaper, but all have a" carbon footprint ", that is emit CO2. Therefore, the stake is made precisely on electrolysis. For example, few people yet know about the serious progress of fuel cells in which hydrogen can be used. They have a theoretical efficiency of 100, while in reality it is 50, but this is much higher than in any heat engine. True. , hydrogen has a drawback. It is light, and therefore difficult to transport. But here, too, scientists have already found a solution. It is proposed to "drive" hydrogen together with natural gas into an ordinary gas pipeline, which will allow them to be transferred to any point, and separated on the spot.

It's simple. But the number of kW that must be spent on electrolysis of water is more than the kW obtained when generating electricity from this hydrogen ....... i.e. it is more expensive.

We forgot about one more constant that exists between "building" and "not building", this is the screeching of Ukraine, which became louder and quieter depending on the "start-stop" position in the implementation of the project, but never stopped. They squealed dejectedly on copper, but today they will scream enthusiastically and with hope. I wonder what will happen to them when the last joints of the flow pipes are welded.

No compromises and no attempts to impose transit on us through Ukraine.
