Literally paid propaganda for the fossil fuels industry. The death and destruction done by climate crisis will far outweigh anything Russia can do in Ukraine. Yet Europe (and the rest of the world) refuse to seriously transition away from fossil fuels despite understanding the necessity for decades now.
If and when we switch primarily to that technology we can discuss that but I’m not optimistic about the technology. I don’t believe it’s capable of supplying current demand. We’ll need to greatly reduce gas demand first, then any remainder can come from biogas.
Besides, if Europe needs bio methane, they can produce it locally. The only reason to export from the US is its large fossil reserves.
The tech is already here, but yeah, it’s not enough to meet the demand. Not by a longshot. It’s very underutilised though. We could make a lot more biomethane than we currently do.
If we can make enough I don’t know, but I’d like us to use that rather than fossils.

LNG doesn’t have to be fossil though. Biomethane is the same gas but made from waste.
The US LNG is however very much fossils, which isn’t great I agree.
