They have a giant oil fund ($1.3T) already, why not use that? Show some balls like Greenland just did.
You are shifting the blame from the entitity who pumps to oil up from the sea bed to the entity which combusts it. Why?
- pengaru 5y agoI have no problem with the entity combusting it if they're doing it to drive their nation's pivot off fossil fuels. Surely Norway sells its oil to nations manufacturing the very things Norway requires to build its green future. My problem is with frivolous waste of oil and the externalized costs of its use being placed on future generations enabling such waste.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoPossibly because an invasion of Norway with the tacit approval of the EU wouldn't be as much of a stretch as you imagine. The oil must flow. Look at Venezuela if you believe otherwise.
- tpmx 5y agoThis TV series was mostly bad, but sometimes exciting. I saw it all, unfortunately. Did you actually take the premise seriously? Norway getting invaded because they removed 2% of the global oil supply is not realistic.

- SuoDuanDao 5y agoI'm not familiar with the series, my opinion comes from my time working in the industry. Based on what I saw there I do not believe that any profitably-extractable reserves will be left unexploited simply because their current owners decide to take them off the market, too many powerful interests have too strong an incentive to change any such policy one way or another.
