(We used to import a lot of Qatari LNG, but as our long-term contracts expire they've begun selling elsewhere to people willing to pay more. Qatari LNG is actually as clean as LNG gets, as their gas infrastructure is relatively new and is well maintained, unlike in the US)

So yeah Norway is pretty hypocritical. But while we still need gas I'd rather we use North Sea gas than gas from anywhere else. The most important action is for *us* to reduce our gas consumption – more wind turbines, more solar, more heat pumps!

Are there specific statements where you'd argue Norway is being hypocritical? I cannot agree that foreign media raving about Norway's high EV sales makes Norway hypocritical, for example.

I think most Norwegians are conflicted, not hypocritical. It's not easy genuinely wanting a better world but being unable to see how we can wean ourselves off oil/gas, especially with lobbying and politicians telling us we cannot.
