Up thread we were told that it isn't a true socialist country.
But that my be like the No True Scotsman thing...
Incidentally one of my colleagues is a raving lefty - and Norwegian. What's he doing here then?

No country is in that sense, even the ones like Venezuela.
They have always had lots who leave the country for various reasons. The climate alone has real downsides and there have always been more job opportunities outside such a small country.

You should get him to read this group. He'd get a good laugh at all the raving righties on here.
But surely that is what socialism is supposed to fix?
As in the Berlin wall, for example!
No it isn?t.
So job creation and climate change are nothing that socialism is involved with OK?
Clearly quite a bit of job creation was involved with the government doing their oil and gas and most of their power generation. Same with the NHS in the UK and with government schools in both countries.
Venezuela.
Switzerland
You've been taken in yet again, Turnip. Only the likes of Trump would claim to be able to fix the short winter days.
Having no more than 2 kids per female (worldwide), or no more than 1 where the population is already unsustainable, is the only way to reduce CO2 output and demand on oil reserves.
They do have some
Wouldn't be in a Fjord of course since by definition they are at sea level.
"noun a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, as in Norway, typically formed by submergence of a glaciated valley"
It's an interesting consequence of privatisation that, where once planned nuclear outages were always in the summer, they are now as often as not in the winter. Presumably a consequence of clever players optimising the various markets. I won't use the loaded word "gaming".
CCGT now near the stops, and coal ramping up to supply more than wind.
Looking at the figures, can we meet demand at night in the winter without coal?
Must stop looking at the meters!

They're firing up the OCGT!

Prolly just a little test burn to make sure a couple of them are ship-shape ...
The link you give only says ?Pumped storage power plants are rarely built,?
Wiki doesn't mention it at all
The comments below Mearns' article are also worth reading.
That was in 2013. Since then there have been studies of the potential for pumped storage in Norway* and your link above, with the idea that Norway might act as the 'green battery' for Europe, but AFAIK, nothing has actually happened on the ground, and judging by the tenor of those studies, nothing is likely to happen any time soon.
(not sure if TNP's coloured segments on his meters actually represent maximum capacities; he will comment, no doubt)
A couple of nights ago, and as I type now, even the OCGT are up.
at night poissibly. By day. I suspect not
Please be advised the 'stops' are notional.
Ther may be mpore or less capacity avialable depending on the state of individual stations
Yep. Obviously spot prices are high enough..
