Because having only one supplier for a needed good, product is a bad idea.
Having more then one source of a needed resource is better. Redundancy is a excellent thing for resources.
Imagine it like a Hard drive. It breaks down and your data is now gone. With a Redundancy (such as a Raid setup, or clone of the Hard drive) their is less chance of Data loss. Or in this case Gas.
Edit: I never stated that Europe should drop Russian Gas. It should have multible sources, so no foreign power block can control its Economy, Politics with threats to shut down a resource that is needed.

Already signed papers with ''Yes''.

Russia isnt the only source now and diversification IS a cornerstone of European policy.
Unfortunately though not everyone has the numbers we need.
We can't trade with Iran as you know... where would we get our gas from?
Especially considering how fragile the economy is now and increases in prices are not viable options
Russia isnt against South Stream? You do realize they are PRO-South Stream,do you?
Not sufficient to replace 100% of it but IM NOT for that. 49% in every EU country from Russia and Im yuppie.
That link has no meaning to our discussion about your claims that other exporters couldnt establish stable pipelines and infrastructure.I didnt ask for definition of unreliable.I dont need your hegelian approach to these things.

Couldnt be way more off, as long as they hold <51% of imports they have monopoly of sorts.

In time and if politics allow, we could export from them as long as they dont try invest that cash in to A-bomb.
Also shouldve added that 49% should be goal WITH option to reducing that to 25-35% if shit hits the fan - that means building up LNG terminals,efficient inner EU infrastructure.

Yes as I work in the industry
Tripled price? What have you been smoking,pass it on please. We are talking about 2-3% difference between current russian price and what US will offer in few years-possibly even next year.Im not even going to talk about Qatar,seems like they would be ready to sell their for sack of potatoes.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

Said a man who can see the future.
The charade has already started.They arent even ashamed to use old USSR slogan of 99,99% attendance with 100% positive results.

or 146% for that matter.
Calling that thing as referendum is a fucking sacrilige.No observers from EU,OSCE and even Russia.Circus is amusing so that word isnt applicable as well.

If referendums can be forged - that means phone calls can be forged.
And Donetsk apparently lacks printers - as they need forged ballots to be delivered thru a territory controlled by Ukrainian Military, for their convenience no less.
Go on, continue to demonstrate an empty skull of yours.

Russia will recognize, anyone else's opinion is apparently irrelevant to them.
