If we don't export petroleum products, someone else will. Much of the money we earn from petroleum is spent on making "the green shift" happen. Can other exporters say the same?

- Norwegianguy 5y agoThat's why we need to put money into finding alternatives.

- Norwegianguy 5y agoBy all means make snarky remarks instead of actual arguments. I hope you're not from the US, or the hypocrisy would be tangible. In any case, if we stopped exporting oil products now, the only real effect would be that supply goes down, driving prices up for Qatar, the US, Russia and other major exporters -- who each have significantly higher emissions (per capita) than Norway. Instead we are spending money on finding ways to decrease demand, to make the step away from petroleum globally. If you ask me, that's a far better, and more realistic, solution.
