Nord Stream 2 pipeline to ensure security of generations to come, ex-German chancellor says
Germany will shoot itself in the foot if the federal government rejects the Russia-led Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, according to Germany’s former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
Washington cannot order the entire nation which gas it should purchase, the ex-chancellor said in an interview with German regional daily the Rheinische Post.
“They [the US] certainly want to sell their own gas extracted by fracking technologies, which is unsustainable, expensive and rather worse compared to the piped natural gas in terms of quality,” Schroeder said.
