    I must admit I stopped reading after the first paragraph but it’s just so exaggerated or simply false, that I don’t see the value in spending more time on such an article.

    Shell, Europe’s largest energy company, forecast on Wednesday that global demand for liquefied natural gas, which has been a lifeline for Europe after Russia cut off pipeline gas supplies, will surge by around 50 percent over the next 15 years.

    • LNG is not a lifeline. A pipeline could be labelled like that, but LNG is a globally traded good supplied by dozens of countries.
    • Russia did not cut off natural gas supplies, they even supply now throughout their illegal war, towards countries that support Ukraine.
    • 50% increase over 15 years is not a ‘surge’, but more a slow and steady increase.
