Nord Stream leaks confirmed as sabotage, Sweden says

The first LNG terminal has just been built (using a ship-based terminal I think, so somewhat different than a completely land-based LNG terminal). The plan is to buy the gas from somewhere else than Russia, and so far we're doing far better than the original predictions. Doesn't mean there won't be problems, but it's certainly not as terrible as expected.

Are you implying that LNG carriers are even remotely comparable in terms of economy and bandwidth to a pipeline from one's neighbor?

It's not really a "plan", it's just a desire. A "plan" involves thought through supply chain, logistics, economics and so on.

This "plan" also implies stopping the gas flow through Ukraine, which is a politically complicated situation.

Specifically?

But nothing has even started yet. There hasn't really even been a real deficit yet. And still some companies already had to shut down production, just cuz it was no longer sustainable.

Thank you for that excellent dose of reality. The fact is also that European leaders (especially Macron caught on hot mic) are terrified that the US essentially had NO realistic/effective plan to replace Russian gas for the EU.
