Reply to comment by bloodydingbat in Qatar and Germany sign long-term natural gas agreement by dragon8811

Germany doesn't have enough energy to run their country because they tried to establish meaningful ties w Russia in the hopes of making Russia a more useful economic partner.

They need the gas, and they don't have great near term options. The middle east is sitting on a ton of energy, and until we shed the majority of our need, the world will continue to buy their oil.

All these useless European nations with no natural resources but coal should have gone nuclear and saved the headache.

As the Irish said, Renewable energy is possibly the greatest world peace initiative in history... because nobody could ever invade a country to steal its solar energy
