Thinking About Putin Building A Natural Gas Pipeline From Eastern Europe To Southeastern China -- Putting That Thought Into Perspectiive -- September 7, 2022

Due to lack of interest by New Englanders for Appalachian natural gas, what the US needs to do is build a pipeline from Pennsylvania to southern California, crossing two mountain ranges, including the Rocky Mountains and traversing a tectonic / seismically-active desert. 

Yeah, that will work. 

And, unlike the rest of the world, the US has an over-abundance of young men more than willing and able to build a pipeline because they are not fighting a war somewhere.

From CNBC, July 26, 2022.

• “Power of Siberia” — as the portion located in Russia is called — began delivering natural gas to northern China in December 2019, according to Chinese state media.
• In China, the pipeline runs down the eastern side of the country, past the capital city of Beijing and down to Shanghai.
• State-owned energy companies, Russia’s Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corp., have been building the pipeline for about eight years.

A reminder: all that natural gas fed to Europe by "Nordstrom" (per White House press secretary) comes from eastern Russia, not Siberia, some thousand miles farther away on the other side of the Urals.

To keep things straight, Russia's European pipeline will get the "Nordstrom" moniker and the Russian Chinese pipeline will be known as the "Neiman-Marcus" natural gas pipeline.
