Nordstream 2 is an affordable way for Germans to hear their homes. Do these people not realize there's a purpose to a natural gas pipeline to a cold country that doesn't involve America?
The main reason is to cut out Eastern Europe out of the pipeline without affecting supply to Germany, and to get rid of some transit costs. There is no real need for Nordstream to get gas to Germany, it is just that Russian gas companies can't shut off the valve to Poland or Ukraine without also shutting off the supply to Germany, which would be a huge problem. Conversely, those countries could also shut off supply to Germany and Western Europe, which would also cause issues. Nordstream put those transit countries in a weaker position compared to Russia. The easy reason for the US being against Nordstream is Ukraine, where a lot of pipeline infrastructure is situated today.
I remember doing assignments about this back when it was just Nordstream almost 20 years ago, way before Euromaidan and back when Schröder was chancellor.
Geopolitics aside, let's not act like there aren't more efficient ways to heat homes than burning a bunch of gas. This is just the German government yet again not giving two shits about the environment and refusing to invest into hydrothermal solutions.
EU can into "Fuck off America you're not in a position of power to make demands"
EDIT: also, this can't be a real person. I refuse to believe that.
