    Good thing we’re already fully self sufficient on renewable energy in Norway then. So we don’t even have to actually have to build these windmills. Nature has value too. Nature disappearing is actually a huge problem in Norway.

      Are you totally self sufficient? I thought a lot of the social programs are supported by the sales of natural gas.

        You’re wrong. All the revenue is sent to our sovereign wealth fund, which is mostly just left alone.

        Plus stopping our gas exports will just make everything worse, since Germany is addicted to natural gas and lignite coal.
