They are preparing for when the oil wells runs dry. Its called smarts.

Given "the cause", this is hypocrisy at its finest.Their economy is 50%+ oil. What do you guys think will happen WHEN Norways patch in the north sea is dry (not profitable)?
This creates a real good incentive to not be dependent and cash in as much on the oil as long as they can.
ok, even if we place some chargers on the road, we will have to wait for...how long? i think half an hour is the fastest ,which is not probably gonna be the one 's placed bcs its the most expensive. getting gas for 1' and getting electric half an hour, imagine the lines on the power station.

Ok, let's get this straight. Norway has an abundance of hydro and EVs work well there.
The USA has an abundance of Petroleum and we think EVs will work here.
Norway is about the size of CA with the longest distance being 1,100 miles. The USA is how wide? Where does our power come from? Some of everything.
The scarcity mindset of Petroleum is the scary thing.
If the US were to give everyone a huge incentive to buy an EV they would fly off the lots. But then how would we charge them all? Oh right, at night with our solar panels!
Exploiting... The wrong motivation on their part.Norway is not leading "the cause" just exploiting it to transition.
Sweden might trying to lead it but failing miserably. (im a Swede)
I don't think they are hypocrite, they have so much electric power it makes sense to use EV there as well as gas, why waste it mining bitcoins or selling it to another country?norway is hypocrite.
like you say- they built wealth on oil, and now they play the "the clean guy theatre" forcing ev and what not.
i criticize this behavior- keeping home clean, but don´t caring about pile of dirt behind the fence (selling oil)..
if really caring about enviroment, how about fully stop selling oil.?
Thats your opinion. They are exporting as much as they can and making buck. That is the real reason in my opinion.like you say- they built wealth on oil, and now they play the "the clean guy theatre" forcing ev and what not.

Precisely and its the oil money that paid for all the hydro construction.I don't think they are hypocrite, they have so much electric power it makes sense to use EV there as well as gas, why waste it mining bitcoins or selling it to another country?
That's a good investment, why dump all the water for no energy harvest? What do you think should be done? burn all the oil then build hydro afterward with borrowed money? Why not build it early and use it? You don't have to spend all the money in the bank just because you have it right?Precisely and its the oil money that paid for all the hydro construction.

And Equinor is a well run company - far better than Rosneft. It took years for them to become efficient and cleaner / and they work on both daily … They should produce and explore …Europe is already in "full" transition. Swedish diesel is only 70% crude/fossil. And companies are taxed less when useing HVO100 diesel substitute.
Now is the time to sell. And they are investing as much as they can in stocks. No time to spare.
Plus if Norway doesnt sell Russia will.
Yes, but in my area I see maaayyyybe 3% EVs or Hybrids.We did give huge incentives.
A $7,500 federal tax credit is, in fact, $7,500 in the pocket of a buyer. It’s not a write-off, it’s a credit, so it’s dollar for dollar going back into the pocket of the buyer. That was quite the incentive at the Federal level. Various states had additional incentives.
Might want to read up on acid rain and the ozone layer. There was a lot done to reverse the damage to the ozone layer by not throwing nasty chemicals in the air. Similar with acid rain. There's a reason why these didn't happen.
Yes, this is true. Also, many of the trees in the Smoky Mountains died in the eighties and nineties reportedly due to acid rain.Might want to read up on acid rain and the ozone layer.
