Norway Is Walking Away from Billions of Barrels of Oil
It's not like the oil is going anywhere, either.<p>I can imagine a point in 30 years where there are new, safer and better ways of getting the oil out, and oil is necessary for processes that don't involve burning it into the atmosphere, and the price is considerably higher than it is now.<p>I despair of (my current home country) Australia's attitude of digging up all the resources it possibly can and selling them for cheaper than everyone else. And being proud of this, like it's a good thing. These resources are irreplaceable and belong to the whole nation. Maybe leave some in the ground for later when the prices have gone up?
