Investments of European countries in the construction of regasification terminals of LNG and efforts to purchase large volumes of liquefied natural gas are beginning to pay for themselves. Speech, the truth, yet about commercial benefit, and about political. Since, on the one hand, these countries were able to break from the "energy orbit of Moscow", and on the other - strengthened their ties with the American business in the person of LNG producers. This is stated in the article The Wall Street Journal. The publication cites Warsaw and Vilnius as an example. Yes, at first they had to incur large expenses for the construction of the LNG infrastructure. But already now they allocate much less for power engineering. Lithuania's spending on the purchase of energy resources decreased by 22% from 2014. , Poland - by 11%, while the consumption of oil and gas there increased. The authors of the article say that 6 more LNG terminals are being built or are in the process of designing in the EU, most of them in countries that were previously part of Russia's "sphere of influence". It pleases, the publication writes frankly, noting that while only 4% of American LNG is bought by Europeans. The development of LNG infrastructure in the EU zone will certainly correct this situation. Earlier, US President Donald Trump promised to supply LNG to Poland at a reduced price, and during public events at the UN General Assembly in New York publicly praised Warsaw for its persistent rejection of the Russian gas pipeline "Nord Stream -2".
