I guess having your whole economy pretty wealthy based on fossil fuels and relying on US innovation in developing EV infrastructure helps.
This kind of reminds me of those “I’m debt free and have $500k savings at 25” type posts where the secret is having rich parents who pay for your college, network you into a good job, live at home and pay all expenses so 100% of salary goes into savings.
I mean, it’s cool for the poster, but I’m not sure how any of that is generalizable to me. Or to countries other than Norway. I don’t see Liberia or Oman (similar populations) drawing too many useful ideas from Norway.
- kurthr 3y agoI agree with you, but it does show that having a competent government can make amazing things possible, and having a dysfunctional one with massive corruption makes it impossible. Not Liberia or Oman, but Nigeria, Angola, and Uganda have the resources to do something similar.
