France is the only country that at least partially figured it out, with nuclear. When I was a kid my dad always told me what a huge mistake it was that Italy was closing its nuclear plants down. You were right dad.

One of the main problems with the Trans-Saharian pipeline is the relations between Spain, Morocco and Algeria, especially in regards to the Western Sahara issue. A video on the matter would be helpful.
@tomschmidt381
Interesting oil and gas history lesson. I had no idea the relationship went back that far. Given the loss of European colonies after WWII that makes sense.
@Accessless
What the EU uses natural gas for might make an interesting video. I.e. percentage of domestic, industrial and power generation and which countries could be using greener alternatives.
@fastspanish
Update: Marroco and Algeria are in a tense situation and the pipe in Marroco is not pumping any gas.
@Thinkingaroundthebox
It all comes down to money and time You'd be surprised how fast political issues between nations evaporate when money is on the line. Countries that don't like each other will get along really fast when there is money to be made The bigger problem is the building of any pipeline will take a lot of time. So unless their is a pipeline already in place it is already to late to help Europe with the coming winter
@andyt8216
It is so frustrating how stupid Europe has been. Ever since Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, they should have had a plan for deteriorating relations with Russia.
@electro1622
This guy lives in la la land.. the pipe lines he says europe can get it's gas from don't exist... they would take decades to upgrade/construct ... winter in europe is only a few months away... whichever way you look at it, the EU is screwed.
@antoinefdu
I chuckled at the idea of Russia objecting to something on the basis of ecological concerns.

9:42 Goddammit guys. I was listening in the background and thought my PC was crashing. Never, ever play that sound again!

Also. Greece apparently has huge gas reserves around its seas with some of the biggest reserves south of Crete. Which would be bigger than what Norway or Slochteren from Netherlands has. But unfortunately Greece was too late in accessing this. It was about to 7 years ago, but the continously stronger push for green energy was the reason why not just Greece but Europe had less incentive to exploit this resource. But in the end when the world news revolves around how Europe is building new routes for gas, I always have to laugh, because likely Greece would be one of the biggest sources just under the noses of Europe that would by now have helped Europe immensely.
@eaman11
Trans Adriatic Pipeline from Azerbaijan to Italy is already in place, will bring 12m this winter up from 8m this year, will bring 20m in a few years at full capacity. Also yesterday Europe approved some 6 billions for hydrogen developments, backed up by other 11 billions from the private sector. Part of the idea is to have renewables in Africa when they are more effective and than pipe hydrogen to Europe converting part of Italians gas pipes, building new ones in Spain.
@DedicatedCaffeineUser
Importing natural gas from Norway would probably be the best solution for the time being. Norway is friendly and stable so most of the issues that prevented pipeline construction wouldn’t be present. It would likely only be a stopgap measure though since Norway only has about 1% of the world’s proven reserves.
@BrokenBackMountains
No mention of Norway, the third largest exporter of Natural gas in the world.
@mrandersson2009
Also France blocked the construction of a gas pipeline from Spain to the rest of Europe passing through its territory.
@edwardblair4096
You showed the volumes of each pipeline individually, but it would have been nice to see a graph with all of them together. For example, show two circles. The first showing the current sources of EU gas imports, and the second just showing the additional capacity added by the new pipelines.
@tomarmstrong1297
"Oh no! The country we sold our self reliance to in exchange for cheap energy were bad guys! Quick! find another politically unstable replacement!" These people would literally try run a pipeline through the increasingly violent north Africa than to even consider Nuclear Energy.
@samuxan
It could be interesting to dig deeper into the relationship between Algeria and Spain/EU since it has deteriorated so much recently making it harder for this pipeline to work
