I see the gas relationship with Gazprom as a stable and mutually beneficial co-dependency.

Both sides, but the EU (prodded by Blair) first need to stop their needless provocations that weaken the relationship.

"stable ande mutually beneficial" for now.  but how long will it be before we hit "peak (Russian) gas" as well as peak oil?  at that point, wouldn't it be preferable for Europe to have made significant strides to achieving "energy independence", as Migeru puts it?

what is the difference between advocating weaning the United States off of oil with Energize America, and advocating weaning Europe off of gas (and oil)?  are Europe's sources of gas and oil that much larger and more secure than the U.S.'s?
