Even the environmental effect was minor; the methane emission from the leaks had 1/5th of the GHG effect of my small country's, Denmark, annual GHG emission.
What is does do is reinforce the European dependency on Washington, as evidenced by this post.

Russia invaded in 2014...
70 is not less than 20.
I'm making you aware that Russia invaded Ukraine.
Sevestapol is from Ukraine, not Russia. As such, Putin (Russia) is the aggressor, not Zelensky.
And oil skyrocket because of Russian actions ( eg. Cutting off oil)
So yes, EU did pay the most money they've ever paid for gas to Russia, but that was a one-off situation, which is not going to repeat. Russia overplayed it's hand.
However, it just occured to me that LNG terminals have one big advantage over a Russia-Europe pipeline: There is exactly one country that can send gas through a pipline that starts in Russia.
There are many countries that can send ships to our LNG terminals.
If, how, and when we make use of that flexibility is another question completely, of course.
