Russians want to oppose Denmark. Nord Stream 2 might be longer and more expensive

Nord Stream 2 AG company has worked out an alternate route of a pipeline from Germany to Russia. Nord Stream 2 in this variation would completely evade the Danish territory. New route would be 10 kilometers longer than the one planned earlier. It was designed in case Denmark forbids building the pipeline within its territorial waters.

The Danish government proposed a change in legislation to reject projects of pipelines within Danish territorial waters because of foreign and security policy. Now, an application can be rejected only by the Danish Energy Agency because of a serious threat for the environment.

Until now, the government rated the applications by accordance with environmental law only. Political and security conditions were not taken into consideration. Thanks to new law it is supposed to change.
