Yes, no one has money and electricity prices are too high. We all know of course what could fix the German energy crisis. The German party that Musk supports polls at 22% and wishes to reopen Nord Stream.

The rising popularity scares the established parties enough to suddenly support immigration controls. Also, suddenly Denmark gave a permit to Russia to seal Nord Stream 2 and possibly repair it. Naturally this is opposed by Poland, who wants to dismantle Nord Stream completely while keeping its own transit pipelines intact. The hypocrisy in the oil/gas business knows no bounds.


Are you talking about the party that wants to tear down all wind turbines (among the cheapest way to generate power), in favor of coal and nuclear (among the most expensive ways to generate power) for purely ideological reasons?


The seal has nothing to do with repairing it.


That is not what the press thinks:

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-europe-about-to-switc...

"The Danish energy agency says it approved the repairs because it is ‘obliged under international law to permit the establishment and operation of pipeline facilities on the Danish continental shelf’. The proposed works will, according to the agency, involve installing specially designed waterproof caps on the two blown-up pipes of Nord Stream-1 and one of the pipes of Nord Stream-2. That will allow the flooded pipelines to be pumped dry and – potentially – raised from the 90-meter-deep seabed and repaired. The cost of the patch has been estimated at €622 million (£521 million), according to Nord Stream 2 AG’s administrative receiver, the Swiss-based Transliq AG."

Moreover, if it really had nothing to do with repairing it the permission could have been given a long time ago, right?
