4:04 pm
policy experts. he saved us the energy chief of the us embassy in key bundled, 2020. hello sir. yeah, welcome to the program. is there a risk that rush shackled town off the gas pipelines going to you via soon? so good afternoon and yes, there it is. absolutely a risk that russia could or for that matter that ukraine could. the dearest, however, not that much gas currently transacting through the suits your point. it's about 40000000 cubic meters per day, which is roughly 14 and a half 1000000000 cubic meters. as you recall from the russia, the energy crisis that started in 2020, 21222324. now, what europe was, depending on from russia in terms of natural gas, was significantly more than that. and your eyes dropped almost all if it's dependency on russian gas. little bit still dependent on diesel and l. n g and some
4:05 pm
other petroleum products coming out of russia. but, well, $14.00 to $15.00 bcm would be a hit for europe, especially going into winter. i think at this point, it's quite clear that it survivable, right? i mean, as you say, you clean or russia could hits the plants in sewage. and if that was the case, as means was what that would mean for russia itself and the rest of you. so russia was, of course, traditionally the source of old hydrocarbon for the most part, not exclusively, but for the most part, all hydrocarbons that europe was using. she was level of dependency 4050 percent dependency. and that means that at this point, it would be rushes last remaining access for a, for pipeline gas into europe. that would have an impact on russia, but probably not a huge one economically. because again, there's not that much gas currently transiting through sutra,
4:06 pm
but with north stream, lot in north spring to down. and with some of the other bands that have gone in place in europe, russia would then have to pivot exclusively east china to find a buyers for its natural gas. but the russian economy is much more dependent on its oil export revenue than it is on its gas revenue at this point. and despite western sanction efforts, russian gas, excuse me, boils remains extremely available on international markets, the very fund triple commodity. right? and as you said, area still some european countries are purchasing some gas from russia despite all that fostering. but that's if the focus to nuclear safety you as nuclear watchdog has expressed concerns about the situation. how does that for easy on youtube plants all power? how close that we to a potential disaster? the real answer to that is that we are not that close. and there are
4:07 pm
a couple of reasons for this. to start with this operation, nuclear power plant is already been shut down. now of course, it takes a very long time, hundreds of years for nuclear fuel and nuclear reactions to be brought down to a safe temperature. so what's going on now is that it is slowly cooling inside the reactor core of the plant. the main risk is that the cooling systems will be somehow separate from the inputs that they need, which in this case is water and electricity. when russia bombs, that can cause put down and the hydro electric station there, the entire reservoir, it's escaped, so to speak and flooded. the, the massive area beneath the down. that was the water source. that's the as operation nuclear power plant was relying on to keep itself cool. without that, there are risks that said, you're not looking at a triple style disaster should one occur and that's because there isn't it in the central core if it could burn. so you'd be looking at something more like
4:08 pm
a for the shame of disaster. but at this point to the area around is not usually populated the behind at the front line of the war for so long. and again, the power point itself has been shut down. right? so we are there on the east in europe, and at the expense. thank you for your insights. there's more stories making headlines around the world and they've got some of them that are receiving lead. alexander lucas, single themes. ukraine has stations more than 120000 troops along the border between the 2 nations. like a single says, almost that that are, but i was on the has been sent to the frontier in a response ration invaded ukraine from russian territory when the war began in 2022 . so don, how's it? glad you called arrive it demick as weeks of heavy rain contaminates drinking water authorities are feeding for edge. and so you want to take an aide for thousands of
