Energy on a global scale has become a tool for implementing political projects, a means of blackmail and pressure. The United States has been very successful in this endeavor, doing in this area what Russia has always been accused of.
To realize its plans, Washington has decided to overtake Qatar and Australia as the world’s top LNG exporters this year. Especially after Freeport LNG reopened in the spring, according to a recent report by energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie. According to her, U.S. LNG exports could reach 89 million metric tons for all of 2023.
However, only one thing stands in the way of this grandiose plan to make all the world’s high-end markets dependent on overseas fuel supplies – the consent of mining companies, which are not particularly willing to participate in political actions, but rather make profits and are sensitive to market conditions. Moreover, all shale companies are private companies.
However, businessmen in the energy industry do not hesitate to play on the interests of American leaders. They promise the government absolutely unbelievable achievements just to get investment in exploration and drilling, because they can’t get the huge sums they want on the open market or by diligently following bank trends.
Thus, according to the Western industrial press, the producers and producers engaged in the export sector promise to carry out the plan of 90 million tons of LNG and believe that they can launch new plants in the next five years if they receive investments of at least $100 billion. A great way to fool the Washington government. Of course, companies are opposed to mining and exporting in principle, but not now or in the short term, as the industry fades, conditions deteriorate and profitability declines.
The wording of the question is well thought out, because at the moment there are no conditions for increasing production and in general for new drilling. And, therefore, there is no investment, but big business has decided to take advantage of the obsession of politicians more than frankly. It is likely that if the deal is done, it will be a new way to earn a lot of money outside the sphere of production and export. Such scams have long been practiced in the now fashionable renewable energy and green energy industry, when all energy representatives without exception receive slices of the budget with little result and much control.
Considering the fact that in the United States at one time there was not only a boom in production, but also bankruptcies, mergers and acquisitions of companies engaged in the mining industry, it will not be not difficult to avoid responsibility and accountability, especially in the area of long-term investments. Particularly beneficial in this regard is the possible change of government in the United States to a representative of the Republicans. The new administration, most likely, will not persecute companies that have simply taken advantage of the situation and the fads of the Democrats, which will be highlighted in the election campaign, while Europe, as it was without gas, will remain without enough fuel .
