Until the fiasco of last winter, I don't think the average  European gave the subject much thought.  In fact, about 10 years ago, I conducted an informal survey and found that most people did not know where their NG sources originated. Most had only a vague understanding that the supplies were derived from North Africa and the North Sea. And why should they? In Europe, the big monopolies and Gov't Agencies run the show, w/o worrying the population of their dependencies. You turn on the tap, and the gas flows... Russia wasn't even on the 'Radar Scope'. Now it is.

Hello Oil4Food,

I wish there was a relatively painless way to get the 'American radar scope' fired up to detect what is coming.
