Description (excerpt):
As Western governments have responded to Russia’s continued efforts to destabilize Ukraine, the potential for US natural gas exports to inflict economic pain on Moscow and undermine its influence in Europe have made for some eye-catching headlines—try searching the Internet for “hit Putin where it hurts” or “get Putin’s attention” for a sampling. To cut through the hyperbole surrounding this issue, the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy undertook a study that provides a cool-headed examination of the impact of US LNG exports on European energy security and Russian foreign policy.
