Norway on track to be first to go all-electric
Nine in 10 new cars in the country are now battery-powered, and it aims to hit 100% later this year.
"Norway is the world leader when it comes to the take up of electric cars, which last year accounted for nine out of 10 new vehicles sold in the country."

"Got rich"
The profits are going in a fund that is kept for later on, it doesn't affect people's current finances. The only idiots here are all the countries that didn't nationalize their natural resources to do the same.
Alberta's oil reserve is massive compared to Norway, what they have to show for it is 18B while Norway has 1.75T saved.
They vote against CEOs that aren't working to prevent climate change. Not all stock market investments make the climate crisis worse.
Fuck your disinformation.
They own shares in Solvay (https://www.nbim.no/en/investments/all-investments/#/), who notoriously poisoned a whole italian village with Dioxine.

They own shares of Coca Cola, who paid for dead squad in latin america to attack unionists
They own shares of Pfizer, who corrupted the european commissions president during COVID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate.
They have shares in Airways, automobile industries, gas companies, petrochemicals, real estate,… Do you understand how capitalism work? The minute there will be a conflict between their financial interest and sustainability, they will pick the former.
Jesus I didn't know it was that bad
While I mostly agree with your argument, the personal attacks are both unecessary and against our site rules.
Maybe it should be against your site rules to simp for planet-destroying capitalists?
Maybe it's time to realize insults won't do anything to change someone's opinion, while tanking the civility of a discussion.
Firmly with the mod on this one.
Civility is the reason we're in this mess with the first place. But hey, you decide to be civil to the ecociders, you will be the one living with your own guilt. Maybe I'll get banned but at least I can look at myself in the mirror :)
The Internet is now a mess of people screaming at each other - and so, did anything change for the better?
Conservative autocrats everywhere, environmental policy going to shitter - the progress we've made, ironically, during the more civil times of the Internet - is reversing.
So, when you look in the mirror, ask yourself - do you really make the change? Or do you just sit and scream, much like everyone else?
Well my friend if you want my respectful disagreement I'm going to have to say no, weakness and non-violence are not the answer. In the sixties, they would blow shit up and that is when most struggle started to win.
So no, I do not own respect to some idiot cheering for crapitalism when the planet is dying.
Look I'm coming to the internet to school people and be right. If I want some sugar i ask my wife. No offense but you're not my type.
Calm down american, there are other ways to run the government and economy other than into the ground.
They didn't get high on their own supply and got a massive national fund from it. A bit hypocritical but definitely nicely played. Better than most other countries who used that money for ego projects or imperialistic madness.
What are you thinking makes them hypocrites? Doesn't seem like doing something bad for the planet, then improving things is hypocritcal unless they start claiming they've always been perfect. At any rate, veats doubling down on petroleum like the US are currently doing.
They have not stopped exporting fossile fuels and to my knowledge at least they also don't plan to do so in the near future.
nah a lot of their stuff get subsidised by the EU too from what I've heard, I think the flip side of it is that they have long training and internship periods so almost everyone is in their 30s by the time they get anywhere. The irony is worrying about global warming when you live in a frozen hell.
Norway isn't even an EU country though?
As a rich fuck living in a fjord I thank you for your contribution
