Reply to comment by Ill-Forever880 in Finland gets floating LNG terminal to replace Russian gas by AmethystOrator

That’s just the energy side of this. EU Manufacturing is still in a bad spot. Heavy Manufacturing still needs oil (Russian crude is used for most EU manufacturing like cars, electronics, etc). It’s going to take a lot of refitting for the entire problem to be solved… (refitting EU manufacturing to a different type of crude)… b4 Germany sees its population and then economy start to decline.

Russian oil accounted for 30% of EU crude imports prior to the war.

Seems like that 30% of total oil export (a very specific type of oil) is very crucial to the manufacturing industry in the EU… better?

It is either losing the US markets or having cheap gas.

The choice is a no-brainer.

There is no choice rn… EU manufacturing is pretty much dead until they retool their processes to weed out Russian crude.

Oil is a lot easier to solve for than gas. Oil tankers are a lot cheaper than LNG ships and there are more of them.

But it’s not. If anything the energy side of the issue is the easy solve. It just takes time for LNG ports to get set up.
