Given the fact that in the course of the last forty years any gains made by nuclear power in Germany were privatized while any costs (for security, for exploring potential nuclear waste depots etc) were socialized I really prefer to deal with the russians for their gas than feed this festering pit of "old boy connections" any further. As Bewolf said - even in the darker times of the Cold War the Russians were reliable business partners when it came to purchasing and delivering gas.
