Are they sure it is not because just about every Norwegian already has an electric car? The incentives were so generous there that you'd have to be mad not to buy one.

And their incentives were financed by the royalties Norway received from the oil they mined in the North Sea and sold to the rest of the world.

Not exactly helping the world to go green?

Yes I'm not sure how Norway reconciles that, carbon offsets maybe?

It can be argued that the coal in those train wagons is actually the solid form of solar power, as coal once was trees produced by photosynthesis.
