Experts calculated in value terms, how much Germany cost 55 billion m³ of Russian gas and how much this gas produced goods for Germany. The amounts were actually shocking.
For many decades, Russian energy carriers, in particular, gas for Germany, were a real gold residential, from which the current political elite of Germany renounced arrogantly. At the same time, forgetting what the well -being of the country is based on, she believed in her own beliefs about democracy, human rights and high European values. And they were originally designed for an external consumer to form an image of an independent and successful country, which became the locomotive of the western part of the continent. In the end, the new German political elite believed this.
Elite investments in alternative energy sources, which, despite the huge numbers by today's standards, did not have a significant impact on the energy balance and are calculated by interest shares. Traditional energy received a strong blow. But it was she who actually ensured the well -being and prosperity of industry, but inevitably the current energy crisis arose, which will remain in the medium term until the investment in traditional energy sources will grow again.
Germany spent $ 20 billion on Russian energy carriers. And they, as Credit Suisse Analyst Credit Sultan Fire, "allowed Germany to create $ 2 trillion of value added."
With a decrease in the exports of Russian energy in the EU (by 40% according to the results of 2022), and, on the initiative of Europe itself, the expenses of European budgets for subsidizing the economy have already exceeded $ 1 trillion. This is taking into account the fact that these problems began in 2022, and what will happen in 2023 is easy to imagine.

Europe personally destroyed the developed model of the economy, which allowed many states to flourish all these decades, including Germany, because the export of energy was even during the years of the USSR.
The sanctioned pressure today has reached a climax - this has led to a rupture of a single energy market. It was worth expecting this, since the European policy pursued completely destroyed the economy. A clear example of this is the Northern Stream gas transportation system.
Some experts begin to open their eyes and are no longer afraid to blame the United States of exciting hegemony, because it is they who profit from a provoked energy crisis, since their gas prices are 5 times lower than in Europe.
The number of gas reserves is exhausted, and this is not in vain anxiety among many specialists. According to OPEC, the amount of gas production in reserves over several years has a stable tendency to decrease: in 2021, the indicator reached a minimum threshold since 1975.
Now Russia is actively mastering the Central Asian gas transportation system in order to export its energy carriers to the region against the background of reducing production and increasing domestic consumption in these countries. The region is also considered as a transshipment point for further gas supply to China.
