Would it be better if Norway would not lead the transition to sustainability?
They understand how bad it is (also their oil reserves are not as great as before), and at least trying to take action before it's too late.
- Para2016 7y agoActually yes, another country should "lead" the transition. It's a global issue. Doing a good thing for your own population while continuing to export fossil fuel is hypocritical.
- breakyerself 7y agoI'm guessing you're not a fan of harm reduction programs.
- Para2016 7y agoJust not a big fan of hypocrites. I see it as similar to a country that preaches peace and diplomacy while manufacturing weapons and selling to beligerants.
- gingabriska 7y agoIf Norway wants to strive for sustainability they should be installing power plants in India and offering EVs and free charging ports there. In coming days, India is going to surpass all countries when it comes to net pollution. I don't know why these rich countries never do anything to improve quality of life on whole planet. Pollution or climate change won't respect borders, so why should they?
- xiphias2 7y agoThe money you are talking about would easily bankrupt Norway. What a government can do is to create tax incentives for EVs and tax gasoline cars, as laws are free. Norwegian government is not able to change the Indian tax code. What I see as important is anything that moves the price of EVs down and utility up. Norway is helping EV battery research a lot (although China still leads).
