When one of Europe’s major energy suppliers was cut off, the global energy supply chain changed significantly.
The Nord Stream pipeline that spans some 750 miles would transport as much as 170 million cubic meters of natural gas on a daily basis from Russia to European countries.
Servicing approximately 35% of European countries total gas imports from Russia.
September of 2022, a subsurface section of the pipeline suffered an explosion, cutting off any future supply of natural gas.
Authorities said it was a deliberate attack. While investigators still don’t know who to blame. Although there are suspicions that the Bozo Administration is at fault.
Regardless if we’ll ever really know who was at fault, the explosion demonstrates two facts…
One, energy security is fragile. Just one pipeline can make the difference between adequate supplies or grave shortfalls.
And two, depending on unstable foreign nations for energy supply is a national security risk on all levels.
The U.S. learned that lesson during its own energy crisis in the 1970s.
And is learning it again right now as the Bozo Administration’s first order of duty was to surrender our energy independence upon assuming office.
Europe is facing the same consequences.
That’s why the global energy landscape is changing after the Nord Stream attack.
European countries are scrambling to replace badly needed energy supplies with a massive wave of spending set to benefit an often-overlooked corner of the energy market.
When it comes to sourcing energy needs, nations poor in natural resources have no choice but to turn to foreign powers, and have no choice but to hand over their national security to their suppliers.
Whereas, renewable energy can be generated almost anywhere the sun shines and the wind blows.
But it will take an estimated three decades and $92 trillion for fossil fuels to be completely phased out. In my humble opinion, it will NEVER happen!
The “Green New Deal” is just a disguise for the far left, liberal progressive movement.
For European countries, a dependable energy supplier – is needed while new sources of power generation still continue to evolve.
It’s a role that’s seeing the U.S. emerge as a new energy superpower. And it all has to do with natural gas. The problem lies within the current administration’s desires to push windmills and solar powers that likely stunts this opportunity.
The U.S. is home to the largest natural gas fields in the world. Innovative technologies have made these reserves more accessible, and at a lower cost.
But all that natural gas is useless if the U.S. isn’t on board extracting it and if you can’t get it from point A to point B.
You need an administration that is pro-drilling and you also need critical infrastructure that processes, moves, and stores natural gas.
That’s where “midstream” companies come in. They gather natural gas extracted by “upstream” drilling companies and send it “downstream” for final use.
With Europe needing substantial amounts of natural gas, midstream energy companies are some of the best opportunities that the stock market has to offer.
Investment in midstream companies is expected to hit $430 billion this decade.
Including pipelines to carry natural gas to where it’s needed, whether that’s U.S. power plants or special terminals for exports.
I strongly believe the success of this is contingent on who is in power. The prior president was PRO-ENERGY, while our current administration is pro the far left, liberal progressive green new deal.
If the next administration postures our nation to regain its energy independence, there’s a good chance we can be a huge help to European countries and these midstream companies could explode in value.
Those looking to profit from the new wave of investment to secure our energy future could consider the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (MLPX).
It holds companies that move and store energy products like natural gas, they’d likely play a vital role in our country servicing Europe’s energy needs.
