It is cheaper than the other alternatives and Germany didn't have any LNG terminals, so it makes sense to choose this. Hindsight bias is easy.

The issue is the way you talk about this, you make it sound like they had a week to get a solution in place.

They had to build the pipelines, those take time... So doesn't building gas terminals also take time?

You're still failing to see the point... Buying like 30% of your energy from someone like Putin, it's a deal you know could end badly.

I'm saying you're talking from hindsight bias, but that's ok it's impossible not to.
