So .... how long until the population realises that it is the politicians who are the ones stopping cheap energy, not a dwindiling (remember peak oil?) supply that needs to be fixed right neeeow, with yet more structures. Build Back Better everyone! Only, the pipeline is sitting there, empty, because Russia bad. Let's throw some more cheap fiat money at building activities! I mean all construction activity leads to economic boosts, doesn't it?
Gas is gas. It warms up the house in the middle of winter, when otherwise, one would get frostbite while the kids play with frost flowers on the inside of windows.
IMO, energy does not know politics. Who cares WHERE the gas came from, when all you want to do is keep warm.
BTW it was not long ago that we were told that gas was green, compared to heavier iterations of petroleum e.g. Diesel. It was the case not long before that, that gas was an evil byproduct that threatened oilfields, and was safer just burned off in controlled flares.
The physical pipeline is still there, however.
It's a matter of politics, not logistics.

Same thing tbey are doing here.
All the talk about upping production elsewhere is for show
