A quick and effective move by the Polish government in search of alternate gas sources is simply a must.

I think the good will come out of it that Poland and the rest of E. Europe will work more actively on diversifying its energy supplies to avoid heavy dependence on Russian oil and gas. Caspian gas and oil come to mind. Norway could also supply E. Europe oil needs. While Russia has a right to sell its oil and gas at the market price, the heavy entanglement between oil and gas corporations and Russian Government, make the Russian energy suppliers unpredictable partners. Russia will work on diversifying its delivery routes of gas and oil to European markets. Eventually, demonopolization of Energy suppliers and transit routes is badly needed for Russia and Eastern and Western Europe. Then rational market--not political whims--will be the main player.
