    So, you would rather that Norway didn’t ban sales of ICE cars?

    Question is, though, how much revenue can be replaced with other products? Or if the lesser demand on gas and diesel might take the margin of operations with it, and thus start a domino effect.

    Oh, and in 2025 China will be at 50%+ EVs. That might make a dent in the oil economy.

      Look I see the good intentions, but I believe in calling out hypocrisy, saying you ban ICE vehicles, whilst being one of the top producers of crude oil, to substitute your electric vehicles with said profits of selling crude oil, which even the “used in other products” is the minority of products, is a bit hypocritical.

      I give Norway a nod to be trying to be the change they want to see, but it feels like the owner of an abattoir preaching the gospel of veganism, how their house is going to be 100% vegan and how people who eat animal products are going to doom the earth due to animals being a major contributor to greenhouse gasses, whilst still operating and profiting from said sale of animal products and using its revenue to make vegan food cheap and easily available to his family.
