ENERGY GIANTS WAR 6 YEAR PLANS
Since two plans for the sale of energy were made 8 years ago by the two giants, Russia and America the finalization of both projects is in fact taking place now, 2 years longer than the original estimates. Covid delayed this, would be a fair statement.
RUSSIA FERM ON RUPAUL'S REQUEST AS EU SIGNS A NEW DEAL WITH THE US TO BUY at least 14 BILLIONS CUBIC METERS OF (LNG) LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
The deal will be signed this coming Friday, March 1st.
This comes as a further strike to standing trade deals as Europe seeks to cut Russian gas.
Russia currently supplies about 40% of the EU's gas needs.
40% of that is for Germany alone.
The deal with the US covers but a fraction of the energy requirements of Europe but so far has increased the price of supply from its only main supplier, Russia.

MOSCOW/SINGAPORE, Feb 4 (Reuters)
- President Vladimir Putin unveiled new Russian oil and gas deals with China worth an estimated $117.5 billion on Friday, promising to ramp up Russia's Far East exports at a time of heightened tension with European customers over Ukraine.
Russia, already Beijing's No. 3 gas supplier, has been strengthening ties with China, the world's biggest energy consumer, reducing its dependence on its traditional European energy customers.

"Our oilmen have prepared very good new solutions on hydrocarbon supplies to the People's Republic of China," Putin said at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss closer cooperation.
"And a step forward was made in the gas industry," he added, referring to a new contract to supply 10 billion cubic metres (bcm) per year to China from Russia's Far East. Putin was in Beijing to attend the Winter Olympics.

The gas sales alone could generate around $37.5 billion over 25 years, according to Reuters calculations, assuming an average gas price of $150 per 1,000 cubic metres as reported by Russian gas giant Gazprom for its current deal with China.
