  1. That's not much of a consolation and warmer summers also mean more energy usage due to AC.

  2.  @chriswusel7516  "Why germany would then need a plant to liquify exacly as a strong net importer please enlight me." I think you misunderstood Peter's argument. He's saying it would take 7 years for suppliers of LNG, such as the US, to build new liquefaction facilities and this limits how much more LNG they can deliver to Europe (and elsewhere) even if Germany could easily receive more. I don't know if he's correct or not but hopefully this makes it more clear to you what his claim was.

  3. Is it liquefaction or regasification facility? Peter was specifically talking about liquefaction facilities.

  4. The French aren't shutting their nuclear reactors, though many were down for maintenance last year.

  5.  @windhoff1417  "You mentioned that a LNG facility takes 7 years to build, the Germans built two new facilities in a few months." I think you misunderstood him. He said that the liquefaction facilities take 7 years to build whereas Germany acquired regasification facilities. His claim is that the supply of LNG can't be quickly increased even if Germany were able to receive that LNG. I don't know whether his claim is correct or not but I hope this clarifies what his claim actually was.

  6.  @Withnail1969  "the industrial savings have been achieved by shutting down plants" I don't think that's the case for all savings. Some of them have been done by replacing natural gas with propane or oil.

  7.  @rickv1007  From what I've read, LNG tankers usually have turbine engines which can use both oil and natural gas.

  8. "5-7 years to build an LNG terminal…Germany built 3 since the war started." No. Peter was specifically talking about liquefaction plants whereas Germany acquired regasification plants.

  9.  @michall6376  That doesn't seem to have anything to do with my comment. Your original comment doesn't contradict what Peter said since Germany hasn't built any LNG liquefaction facilities and it wouldn't make any sense for them to do so since they're in importer of gas not an exporter.

  10. I don't think the chances are that low because temperature keeps increasing. Thus it's not that uncommon for each year to be the warmest so far (since the beginning of record keeping).

  11.  @marcbjorg4823  It can also be recycled.

  12.  @marcbjorg4823  I mean, the material of the tetra pak can be recycled so you don't have to burn it.

  13. Heat pumps unless you have district heating.

  14. He clearly does not want it, quite the opposite. He's just predicting it. IMHO he's being a bit too pessimistic.

  15. "Europe's energy "situation" would have been less dire if the US didn't go around blowing up pipelines" It likely wouldn't be. All deliveries through NS 1 had already been halted before it was blown.
