https://www.dw.com/en/france-set-to-blow-up-nord-stream-2-pipeline-deal/a-47414743Paris has signaled it will support changes to EU guidelines regulating gas imports. Germany has thus far ignored opposition to its project, but it may not be able to any longer.

........and all the hysteria over then being forced to replace it all with Trump's filthy and (more importantly) expensive fracking stuff is a load of hype as well.I agree. Nordstream-2 is unnecessary and provides Putin with an energy cudgel.

There are other sources and Germany's dependence on Russian gas in its overall energy balance is at best minimal anyway.
Germany’s energy mix, because gas accounts for around 23% of Germany’s primary energy use.
nord-stream-2-pipeline-row-highlights-germanys-energy-dependence-on-russiaFormer German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder sits on the Nordstream-2 board is would make millions from the deal. He is also a paid lobbyist for Russia's Gazprom.
I can't quite fathom why Europe would want to help finance the militarization of its foremost adversary.

In fact one can put Russia's share of (in) Gremany's energy mix more at around 11 pct.
Oh well. No blow-up .... yet. NS-2 is still on track under German negotiation leadership with slightly tighter restrictions agreed to by Paris and Berlin. With the Turk Stream project and NS-2 going forward Russia is cutting Ukraine out of the pipeline process and Ametican LNG will not likely make big inroads into Europe either. Norway may still be an option but it seems that Europe will become more interconnected with Russia vis a vis energy nonetheless.

Sort of.
Looks like France caved. And in other news, water is wet.
You might want to acquaint Litwin with that before he embarrasses you further

From what I understand, Germany and France reached a compromise. The EU would retain oversight of such non-EU projects, but not have the ability to kill them. In return France will get German support for French President Emmanuel Macron's ideas for Eurozone budget and debt system reforms.
I would love to hear a rationale from a Trump supporter on why the Trump administration has not imposed sanctions as threatened on the Nordstream-2 consortium.....
Gazprom - 51%
Wintershall - 15.5%
PEG Infrastruktur AG, a subsidiary of Uniper - 15.5%
N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie - 9%
Engie - 9%
and the main consortium Board members.....
Gerhard Schröder, former Chancellor of Germany, former Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Chairman of the Board
Oleg Aksyutin, head of the Gas Transportation, Underground Storage and Utilization Department of Gazprom
Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Gazprom
Hans-Ulrich Engel, Member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE
Han Fennema, Chairman of the Executive Board, CEO of N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie
Isabelle Kocher, Chief Executive Officer of Engie
Vitaly Markelov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Committee of Gazprom
Mario Mehren, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wintershall
Pavel Oderov, Head of Department of Gazprom
Marc Spieker, Member of the Board of Management of E.ON
Johannes Teyssen, Chairman of the Board of Management of E.ON
Alexey Zagorovskiy - Nordstream-2 Managing Director
The answer to your question is that, not just do sanction not work in general, but imposing them on businesses and individuals of your supposed 'allies' is a recipe to alienate everybody.
