'The real solution, she says, is an all-out effort to replace methane gas with wind and solar.'
She insists however, that the pipeline was always a white elephant and that"We do not need this pipeline." She dismissed it as unprofitable, unnecessary and damaging to the climate, not to mention"geopolitically harmful."
She says that Germany should be trying to replace methane gas with renewables, and if it needs gas in the meantime, can always import Liquefied Natural Gas by sea. [Germany does not have LNG terminals at the moment but can presumably build some.] She pointed out that some of the slack can be taken up by energy conservation and curbing consumption. Many buildings heated by methane gas, and putting in the insulation is far cheaper and less environmentally harmful than importing more gas.
