In October 2023 German Bundestag MP Steffen Kotre said Germany should reconsider its decision to abandon Russian energy and resume gas imports through the surviving branch of the Nord Stream pipeline. Kotre argued that Germany now was paying significantly more for gas from alternative sources compared to Russian gas. He highlighted the profitability and environmental friendliness of Russian gas, contrasting it with Germany’s current supplies, primarily liquefied natural gas from the United States produced by the [[fracking]] method. Germany now was paying three to four times more for these supplies, which do not meet the country’s environmental standards.
The resumption of energy flows from Russia through the Nord Stream pipeline could be crucial in preventing deindustrialization in Germany. By providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly gas, it would enhance Germany’s competitiveness and support its industries. Kotre’s call for reconsideration reflected concerns about the economic impact of high gas prices and the need to balance energy security with environmental standards.<ref>https://www.australiannationalreview.com/business/german-mp-argues-in-favor-of-nord-stream-2-for-germanys-economic-benefit/</ref>
