They have agreements in place. Unlike America they can be trusted to honour those. As other regions use less fuel, less will be exported. Trump can hoard it all, we’re not interested.

And there are legitimate uses for oil. The less we use for heating and powering automobiles, the more will be left for those legitimate uses.

I tend to agree, but am without any examples of legit uses. Help me out?

Biggest thing is pharmaceuticals, but also (when we’re careful about them) fertilizers, lubricants, plastics.

Certainly. But that wasn't my point. It was more that let's not be hyperbolic about Norway's "green cred" as the underpinnings of 2/3 of their economy is based on "drill baby, drill".

No Norway is in the EU. In 2022, EU + Norway signed a deal to gain energy independence and improve EU resilience. It focuses on oil from Norway to EU (& developing cooperation on renewable energy, carbon capture research, and hydrogen). They can't back out because they cleaned up their act at home.

A very small fraction of what gets extracted today. You want a world covered in plastic?

No, actually, I don't. I think most of hte oil now in the ground should stay in the ground. Instead of burning it all now, we save it for a time when someone comes up with safe, viable uses for it.

This is what we call moving the goalpost in a conversation. It has zero to do with want for plastics. Feel free to read back the thread.
