like we arent making measures for 5-6 years. In 2018 alone russia will have a gas pipeline to china and an lng station in yamal that will export gas worldwide. Also stop delusion yourself, europe wont extract shale gas because the continent is not made for that and neither will lng work.
Remember that lng is only profitable because of gazproms monopoly setting the prices. Gas trough pipelines and especially conventional gas not fracked will always be cheaper and faster to be delivered than gas thats coming from a ship which has to be deliquefied let alone fracking gas which is more expansive to be produced in the first place.
Gazprom if it wanted could decrease prices and all the lng and fracking charades collapse. The reason why we havent yet is because it seems its still more profitable to keep prices up.
so what its only a year but crimea will be forever russian from now on, also i would still wait up. I think this year will be good because its unleashing a political crisis in russia to force putin making reforms and not talking, hes an idiot now all of the sudden he comes up with an own credit card system. When i heard it i was like thinking: why didnt you made it before you genius? He was always talking about diversification yet he needs his bank to be banned by visa and mastercard in the first place to make an own russian payment system.
i also think the ruble devaluation is exactly what was needed, it will boost exports, decrease imports, more russians will make holidays in russia and it will increase budget which gets half the money from petro dollars.
Even before the crimean grab we were pretty much in recession, the crimean crisis is not the reason but the symptoms of our poor economic situation. Poor countries like your romania or greece maybe go to protest to express their despair but powerful countries like russia go to war and eat some land from neighbors.
1.Yes it will extract shale gas,the process has allready began,stop embarassing yourself with simple words against proofs.
2.Shale gas will be cheaper.
3.Gazprom can't reduce prices to those of shale gas because it will go boom.Gazprom will be a non player in the EU by 2020 anyway.Irelevant.
4.Rest of your hopes are just that,hopes.Reality is that russian economy is going down and your wishfull thinking ain't going to help it.
