“Full throttle”
Handelsblatt
German gas company Thyssengas is planning a new pipeline that would connect its grid with the proposed Russian project Nord Stream 2 - even while the latter is strongly disputed, writes Jürgen Flauger in Handelsblatt. The company argues that gas supplies from other sources like the Netherlands would diminish in the near future. “I am absolutely convinced that Nord Stream 2 will come. We need [it],” Axel Botzenhardt, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Thyssengas, told the newspaper. Critics of Nord Stream 2, such as Poland, warn that the pipeline would lead to more EU-dependence on Russian supply.
