Merkel seeks more Russian gas

Published: Thursday, July 6, 2017

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has an ambitious plan for importing more Russian gas.




Merkel has proposed a $10 billion pipeline expansion that would significantly boost the amount of Russian gas transported from Siberia.

The chancellor views the project as a way of helping Germany transition away from coal and nuclear — and toward a future dominated by renewable energy.

But the project has garnered opposition among some people living in the sparsely populated area along the pipeline route, who have filed nearly 160 objections (Zha/Shiryaevskaya, Bloomberg, July 4). — MJ
