2. Choice Point
• Сhoice point for Europe: to preserve Russia
as the main supplier of gas or to continue
the process of diversification and
liberalization of market
• Choice point for Russia: struggle for
European market or reorientation to new
consumers in Asia
• Europe wants to implement American
model of market. But in USA gas market is
self-sufficient
• Main question for Russia: to invest money
to greenfields or to wait
