Fælt å se norgeshistorien bli forvrengt og ødelagt med idiotisk KI (AI) på denne måten. Bildene i videoen er groteske og stemmer svært lite med virkeligheten.

Norwegian oil is not fully nationalized in the traditional sense of total state ownership, but the state retains strict sovereign control and major financial stakes. All petroleum resources on the Norwegian continental shelf belong to the Norwegian state, and the government regulates the industry by requiring companies to pay for production licences.

In 1972, Norway established the state-owned oil company, Statoil (now known as Equinor). This move followed the discovery of oil in 1969, allowing the government to control production and secure the majority of economic benefits for the nation.

Norway exports nearly all of its oil and natural gas production, with only a small fraction consumed domestically. Nearly all crude oil and roughly 95% of natural gas produced on the Norwegian shelf is exported, making Norway a significant energy supplier to the EU and UK.

Norway generates nearly 98–99% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily hydropower (around 89-90%), making it a global leader in clean power. While fossil fuels make up a negligible amount of electricity generation (2%), renewable energy accounted for about 75.8% of total gross final energy consumption in 202
