The Diversification of Europe's Gas Industry

Russia built and the main pipe line, called the drusba, or the friendship pipe line, ran through ukrane into western europe. And that was the key pipe line. Since then, though, er europe has slowly diversified away from russian gas. A big dutch field, you have the norwegian fields, the british fields, i north sea for a while. But if you have an argument with the producer, with russia, you know, it's like you have to go into marriage councilling. You're not going to turn that pipe line off.
