Germany laughed at President Trump at the UN when the President warned about being dependent on Russian oil and gas. Today the gas lines into Europe from Russia are no longer sending natural gas to Europe. They’re not laughing anymore.

Part of a key pipeline transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe suddenly reversed its flow direction Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Flows in the Yamal-Europe pipeline, which sends natural gas to Germany via Poland, were recorded going eastward away from Europe on Tuesday morning, data from the European firm Gascade showed, Reuters reported, citing data from German network operator Gascade. Flows leaving Germany were moving at a whopping 4.3 million kilowatt-hours per hour at one section of the pipeline.

The pipeline is operated by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom and is one of three routes the company uses to export natural gas to western Europe. The Yamal-Europe pipeline is responsible for 10% of the region’s natural gas supplies, meaning a substantial flow shift could lead to much higher energy prices for many European consumers.

Overall, Russia is responsible for approximately 47% of European gas imports, the most recent Eurostat data showed.

I've worked for pipelines in the US for 20 years, never seen those units.

Russia is slow as frick. Western Europe has been sanctioning Russia. They've been brutally going after wealthy Russians and stealing their shite.. but Russia only just now stops the oil flow?

It's not even about who is right or wrong in the Ukraine conflict. It's about countering when someone shits on your head over and over. If when we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan... Mexico and Canada started shitting on our heads, I'd fully expect us to stop dealing with Mexico and Canada.

Better get those old wood burning or coal burning stoves out. If you rely on green you will turn blue.

Natural gas pipelines don't "flow".

They have pressure that can be tapped on one end, the other, or anywhere in between to pull out or inject natural gas.

Do you ever even look to see if the subject of your posts is being covered by other news outlets? Or do you just post everything they report?

A coal powered power plant would be real nice right about now.

I really don’t understand what it means “reversed its flow”. Are they taking NG out of Europe and if so why wouldn’t Europe use a valve of some type to stop it (probably lots more complicated)?

How much electricity is that in regards to a large metropolitan area’s needs?
