Because Biden's plan is to destroy the entire fossil fuel infrastructure by 2032
/The EastMed pipeline is still in limbo and in fact, Biden’s handlers have probably just killed it
“…. One of those alternatives [to European dependence on Russian gas] is the proposed 1,900-kilometer EastMed pipeline, which would carry natural gas extracted from offshore gas fields under the waters of Israel's and Cyprus's Exclusive Economic Zones, to Greece and from there to Italy and other European countries. The pipeline was originally scheduled for completion by 2025, at an estimated cost of 6 billion euros, and is projected to have the initial capacity to transfer 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year. The pre-feasibility studies, conducted from 2015-18 and paid for by the European Union, found that the project was "technically feasible, economically viable and commercially competitive."
"The analysis conducted for the activity related to the economic, financial and competitiveness studies, evidenced that the [EastMed] Project contributes to the improvement of market integration of currently isolated countries such as Cyprus and some Greek regions, to the enhancement of energy security diversifying the supply sources for Europe and to the reduction of the EU-wide consumers' gas bill. Moreover, taking into account the need of additional net imports to satisfy EU gas demand by 2030 and the risk associated to the current production availability, procurement and transport of gas supply, the Project provides strategic contribution to the EU security of supply."
It was all the more surprising, therefore, when in January, the United States, in a complete policy reversal, unofficially communicated to Israel, Greece and Cyprus that it no longer supported the pipeline. Then, on April 6, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland made it even clearer that the US was officially killing off the EastMed project. As the final feasibility report on the project is still underway, the US decision seemed to come out of the blue.
Out of the blue, perhaps, but not out of the green:
During a visit to Greece, Nuland said in an interview with the newspaper Kathimerini:
"We don't need to wait for 10 years and spend billions of dollars on this stuff. We need to move the gas now, And we need to use gas today as a transition to a greener future. Ten years from now we don't want a pipeline. Ten years from now we want to be green. So we've got to use LNG [liquefied natural gas] and we've got to use electricity connections that we can do more quickly."
They keep telling us what they’re doing, but too many don’t believe them: “they couldn’t be that stupid ….”. But it’s not stupidity that’s behind this, it’s malevolence.
