It's also noteworthy that this has been the policy of the current government for the last two periods, but it's good that arbeiderpartiet finally landed on this too as it cements the decision. It's also worth noting that these rigs would be much closer to shore than the current rigs outside of the west coast. I would be able to see the rigs from Lofoten where much of my family is from although I don't live there myself. For me personally putting up rigs would have been a disaster even without the oil spills.
