Why is becoming dependent on US-supplied liquefied natural gas any better? If Germany has two or more reliable suppliers of natural gas (Russia and US), neither one can extort them by threatening to flip the switch.

If you have the LNG infrastructure in place, you could change your suppliers at the flick of a switch.

Doubly so if you own the ships too.
