Triggered by Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, Europe's energy crisis presents an opportunity for Spain and Portugal to significantly elevate their role in energizing Western Europe.

On Friday, Spanish Energy Minister Teresa Ribera said that a new gas link from Spain to France could be ready by April or May of 2023.

"This new interconnection, this gas pipeline, could be operating in about eight or nine months on the southern side of the border, that is, from the Pyrenees to Spain," Ribera told TVE.

Europe is rapidly developing alternative sources for NG & Oil. The ability of Russia to control Europe by turning on or off their pipelines is coming to an end. Russia still hasn't produced oil out of Siberia at the rate they were prior to the collapse of the USSR and they don't have the pipeline capacity to offset the lost revenue if they lose most of their European market.

The world is changing and Russia is not going to be better for it.
