The chief EU diplomat is visiting Russia
EU High Representative for Security Affairs Josep Borrell shared his negative view of the U.S. sanctions spreading on European companies, which were imposed agaist the construction of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The diplomat said so during his ongoing visit in Russia on February 4, as Interfax quoted him.
“It is obvious that the EU stands against sanctions of third countries against European companies, which perform legal actions. Nord Stream 2 is not the general European project. The decision about construction of this pipeline should be made by EU member countries, which participate in the project”, he said.
According to him, the European Commission insists that the pipeline meets the respective EU legal framework.
As for the Russian gas, Borrell marked that the EU does not prefer any of kinds of natural gas; as a customer, it is mostly interested in a transparent and well-regulated market – which means both pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas.
According to him, the EU-Russia relations in energy sector should be more concentrated on the energy transition. The idea is to refuse from the fossil energy sources in the context of fighting the climate changes. The natural gas will play the leading part in this transition.

This clown has no fucking idea what he’s talking about. Geology lesson for the Putin puppet.
Natural Gas
It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the Earth over millions of years.
Fossil Fuel
Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas.
Spot the difference!
I don’t understand anything, it’s beyond my educational level, but what i do know is that gas is not free of emissions. Thus solar, wind, water and nuclear are climate-friendly, whereas gas just like coal is not.
This Borrell is just showing how tough he’s going to be with Putin. He’s grovelling before the plane even landed.
The byproducts of burning natural gas are CO2 and water vapour, making it an extremely clean fuel compared to coal and petroleum. Plus of course trees need lots of CO2 to breathe.
Natural gas is around 50% cleaner than other fossil fuel, but the main problem with extracting natural gas, it also releases methane, which does a lot more damage to the atmosphere than other greenhouse gases.
You release methane too Foccusser, don’t act so innocent….
Bhaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
