Being Norwegian, that is one of the funniest description I have heard of the country which in reality is the exact opposite.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoI suspect that what the poster is getting at is that Norway's population is small and very wealthy, and it is concentrated around Oslo/Bergen/Trondheim so that it's risky to generalise based on what's happening there because, on global scale, it's a bit like a large-ish wealthy city (there are 1 million more people in Hongkong than in Norway). I don't think he meant that it wasn't an actual country. It obviously is. On top of that, Norway has a lot of hydro power, I believe. So not only there are wealthy with a small population, but they get effectively free electricity...

- roenxi 3y agomytailorisrich's reading is much more accurate than yours then. He's picking up what I'm putting down.
- joe__f 3y agoWell, I'm glad somebody else was able to understand what you meant and clarify it for you. I'd say it's not surprising that people misunderstand you if you don't put much detail in your posts
- Broken_Hippo 3y agobut they get effectively free electricity... Tell that to anyone paying an electric bill, especially if they live in Southern Norway.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoPrices have only increased over the past 2 years and partly because their skyrocketed in the EU so market forces sent electricity to exportation and pushed domestic prices up.
