This could have a significant impact on the continent's energy security.

• 00:00:00 This is a story about how Europe became so dependent on Russian gas, and how this led to economic problems. The story also covers Europe's attempt to secure energy supplies on an individual basis, and how this has led to problems in the past.

• 00:15:00 The video discusses the difficulties that European countries face in finding an adequate replacement for Russian gas, as well as the incentives that are available to them in order to mitigate this problem. The transcript states that, in order to turn liquefied natural gas (LNG) into gas, many countries need to build facilities that are not currently present in many of them. This is a problem, as it takes years for these facilities to be completed, and during this time, the availability of LNG may be limited.
• 00:20:00 This video discusses how Putin has been holding Europe hostage over energy by refusing to allow construction of new pipelines. The main reason for this is China's increasing energy demand. If Europe does not find a way to get more gas from other sources, it may face difficult times in the future.
