We could open up ANWAR and truly develop it, every single time the government leases land it pulls the leases before anything can really be extracted.

Fracking isn't being used as much as it could be.  We could get a lot more out with Fracking.

Germany currently gets about 1/3rd of its natural gas from Russia. If Germany spun back up half of their reactors that are currently right now shut down and received Natural Gas from the USA they wouldn't need Russia.

Wut?  Oil tankers already exist -  they would just fill up here instead of deliver here.
I see your point on Natural Gas.

LoL

You are under the impression Europe wants to fix energy problems.
They are creating the problems on their own. Easily fixed on their own

Right, Germany is dependent on Russian natural gas for 1/3rd of its energy needs, because Angela Merkel in 2011 decided that in the wake of Fukushima Nuclear Disaster to phase out Germany nuclear power plants.  Since 2011 Germany has shut down half of their nuclear reactors and they are on schedule to shut down the other half.  The Germans stated goal is to be 100% renewable energy by the 2040's.  The Germans know that there is going to be a gap in energy production so their plan was to fill that gap with natural gas, which is better for the environment than coal.  So, the Germans had planned to use natural gas increasingly as their primary source of energy until renewable were viable in the 2040s (if everything went to plan).  

I think the actions of Merkel were foolish.  She walked this world into this situation.  Instead of sanctioning and deterring Russia in 2014 with meaningful sanctions Merkel empowered Russia and all the sacrifice that German will face in the wake of these current sanctions can be blamed in large part on Merkel who while no longer in office continues to devastate her nation.  

No we don't. We're surrounded by energy. Cheap and plentiful.

We're just too fucking stupid to use it
