Firn---something that came out of the EU meeting yesterday night and I must thank Putin for it---the EU is starting the analysis on reducing Russian gas and oil purchases starting already in 2014.

They made that public enough for Russia to understand.

Putin got the EU to wake up and realize that if they shared their own gas/oil abilities across their individual borders which they can as they have built a massive distribution system since 2009 they could 1) reduce Russia purchases/dependency, and 2) actually reduce gas and oil prices for EU citizens across the board making it a win win thing.

Great that Putin is going to lower my yearly gas bill----
