all this european countries are turning to liquefied natural gas supplies, particularly from the u. s. as an alternative to russian gas, despite much higher prices, take us through that. while, like you said, the european union's been investing billions of euro's into infrastructure in the hopes that liquefied natural gas can solve the european union's energy needs. and that's not only costing the european taxpayer a lot of money right now, because at the end of the day, this l. n g is going to make the import of any sort of of energy a lot more expensive. and a much of this price like is actually going to go straight into the pockets of american energy corporation. something that the white house was talking about, trying to accomplish, even before rushes, military operation began. first of all, we are looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash l n g, from russia. we're on their way of turn, how see what we can do to do that? do dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we could make up a significant portion of it. oh, that would be lost if it, if washington
