e di come la Russia sarà in grado di sostituire l'Europa nelle vendite di petrolio.

Russia spent almost 50 years building its energy market in Europe. President Vladimir Putin destroyed it in under 50 weeks. Finding a replacement will be almost impossible.

While Russia has found alternative markets for its crude oil, mostly in India, switching sales of refined products and — perhaps even more so — natural gas will take years and come at huge cost. That’s if it’s even possible to create markets as the world turns away from fossil fuels.

When Moscow’s troops invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, its European energy customers took fright. A market that soaked up nearly 2.5 million barrels a day of crude, another 1 million barrels of refined products and 155 billion cubic meters a year of natural gas has all but disappeared.

Russia’s oil companies have succeeded in diverting deliveries of crude shunned by traditional European buyers, thanks in very large part to the thirst of Indian refiners for cheap feedstock. But the diversion has come at a huge cost to Russia and its oil industry. Big discounts, which appear to have been as high as $35 a barrel, equivalent to a 40% price cut, have been required to penetrate the Indian market.

There will be limits to how much more Russian gas Beijing will buy. While its energy needs are vast, it will be wary of repeating the mistakes that some European countries made by becoming too dependent on Moscow. So Russia will need to look elsewhere to replace its lost European markets.

It would like to supply India, another rapidly growing nation with vast and rising energy needs. But piping natural gas to India will be even more difficult than getting it to China. The route would either have to cross some of the highest mountains in the world, or pass through Afghanistan and Pakistan. Either route would cross several other countries, making construction and operation more costly than the a link between two nations with shared borders.

Putin’s war in Ukraine has cost Russia its European energy market. It won’t be easy to replace. Whatever rapprochement Moscow and Europe may eventually reach, Russians will be counting the cost of the war for generations to come.

Quindi non solo serviranno GENERAZIONI per costruire qualcosa che assomigli al mercato Europeo che la Russia ha perduto, ma fin'ora ha venduto il suo petrolio a paesi come l'India a $35 a barile... (e gli costa dai 35 ai 40 dollari per PRODURRE quel barile). Non solo questo... ma quando la Russia avrà finalmente qualche infrastruttura degna di nota... dopo aver pagato chissà quanto per costruirla... il mondo avrà ampiamente abbandonato i combustibili fossili.

L'economia russa sta crollando, e non c'è la benché minima speranza che si salvino.

Benvenuto nel mondo reale Alessandrox, Narnia è da tutt'altra parte.
