    That’s some top tier capitalism right there. And i always thought Norway was one of the more forward thinking countries in Europe.

      I think it is based on some EU stuff? Lots of our power related issues is based on the new International power cables. Suddenly power got really expensive because some assholes in central EU took over our power pricing around the same time.

      We are so afraid of violating the EEC that we implement everything they dream up that is market related even if the EU countries themselves might hold back. Our labor party has sadly turned more and more to the right these last 20 years. Our mainstream right is still more to the left than the US democrats on most things though.

      it is a capitalist solution to solar and wind being unpredictable, and from what I understand it works fairly well at incentivizing batteries and solar power usage.
