If the buyer doesn't want it, Norway sets down the price until someone does. We make sure every barrel pumped is burned eventually.
In the end, we have to leave carbon in the ground. Even with increasingly dubious prospects for profitability, and increasing environmental risks (from oil extradition in the far north), Norwegian governments have not been willing to leave any oil in the ground.

- alkonaut 7y agoMost of the plastic I buy is burned (as trash) probably within a year from me buying it. Sweden burns its trash, we don't stuff it in landfills, and even though I recycle a lot of plastic, it's far from all of it. It's mostly packaging plastic that's recycled, not e.g. toys.
