You’re right. Basic economics. Given climate change though, I’m more interested in countries like Norway investing in policies that grow environmentally responsible industries rather than simply reducing a small part of the emissions of antequated and polluting ones.

This is stupid but entirely understandable when you look at how Norway makes money.

They want to clean up their own emissions at the same time as they export petroleum everywhere else.
