ā€œFull throttleā€

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. ā€œI am absolutely convinced that Nord Stream 2 will come. We need [it],ā€ 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.
