Electricity doesn't have to be a bad option for heating. Norway gets 88% of it's electricity through hydropower, another 10% through wind, and the rest of it is geothermal, as an example. That doesn't mean that electricity is necessarily the most efficient option, or the cheapest, but it is clean.
- kuon 6y agoI am not saying electricity is bad for heating. But it is surprising to me. It is "illegal" here, but honnestly I don't have an opinion or an objective view on it.
- viklove 6y agoThat's awesome, but it's too bad they financed the construction of all that green energy through the sale of oil, which is obviously being burned.
- birktj 6y agoI don't think this is entirely true. A lot of the modern "green industry" stuff in Norway is funded by the oil industry. However, the hydropower industry in Norway is way older than the oil industry and is quite economical on its own.
