It is never too late to point out blatant hypocrisy.

No they are not a major oil producer and exporter.

Total world oil production in 2019 averaged 80,622,000 barrels per day. Approximately 68% came from the top ten countries, and an overlapping 44% came from the fourteen current OPEC members, in the table found in the link.

Norway invested its oil profits. The country has lots of hydroelectric plants. I was in Norway two years ago and noticed lots of Teslas.

I guess it is not that hard to ban fossil-fuel-powered cars in a country with less than 5.5 million people.

The irony is that they have to burn high levels of fossil fuels to get the resources necessary to create electric cars. The carbon output of electric cars is often higher than most fossil fuel burning cars. For the left, it's all about feeling good while wallowing in ignorance.

I think EV's are still clearly more expensive than conventional cars.
