The flaring first came to light a few weeks ago when Finnish people noticed a large flame on the horizon at the Russian border. Analysis suggests around 4.34 million cubic metres of gas is being burned every day – an estimated $10m worth. Russia is burning off large amounts of natural gas that it previously would have exported to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, analysis suggests. Satellite monitoring of heat levels at a new liquified natural gas facility near the Finnish border indicates it has been happening since 11 July – and an estimated $10m (£8.4m) worth of gas is being burnt every day. The flaring first came to light a few weeks ago when Finnish people noticed a large flame on the horizon at the Russian border. Analysis by Norway-based Rystad Energy, an independent energy research company, suggests around 4.34 million cubic metres of gas is burnt each day. This is “enough gas to supply 1.5 million European homes”, Sindre Knutsson, senior vice-president of gas and LNG markets at Rystad Energy, told Sky News. Although the flaring may be part of testing procedures at the Portovaya LNG plant or because of a lack of coordination between different operating segments, experts said “the likely magnitude and duration of this continuous flaring period is quite extreme”. NN: Russia is playing a serious game to destabilize the great democracies and advanced societies.. Its diabolically cleaver and as you are seeing working.They are single minded in their objectives and very serious, very dangerous people. On the other hand Europe is lead by some very corrupt and very silly people. The crises in the global economy especially as far as food and energy is concerned is a result of inept leadership. And the hell of it is they are not correcting their proven mistakes. This is the stuff that triggers uprisings of the masses. The 1930’s depression led to the World war of the 1940’s. It will be no different this time as famine spreads in poorer less developed countries. And the chasm between rich and poor expands in the developed world. The masses are becoming poorer and poorer by the day. And they are getting angrier and desperate.
