A senior US diplomat, Victoria Nuland, stated that the proposed EastMed pipeline to deliver natural gas from the Eastern Mediterranean to Europe is economically unviable and would take too long to construct, making it unsuitable for immediate needs to reduce dependence on Russian gas. Instead, Nuland suggested LNG shipments and electricity connections as more practical alternatives. The Biden administration has quietly abandoned the project, which was initially promoted by the Trump administration. The US is also supporting the EuroAsia interconnector, a significant underwater power cable project linking the electricity grids of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel, expected to be completed by 2025.

The article discusses the Biden administration's struggle to balance its commitment to democratic values and human rights with the geopolitical and economic complexities of global energy prices, exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It highlights the US's reliance on fossil fuels and the power it grants to petro autocrats, urging a pivot to renewable energy. The text underscores the critical role of the US Congress in advancing a green transition to mitigate climate collapse and reduce dependence on oil-rich autocrats. It also notes the EU and UK's steps towards renewable energy, while critiquing ongoing fossil fuel dependencies.
