Well, the primary reason was climate change.
We did believe that some countries needed to take the first steps and show that you can be a
But actually also when we looked into the economics of it, it turned out that it was also just a good business decision because the investments that are needed to explore and extract more oil and gas compared to how small the reserves actually are, compared to how much the prices are going down on renewables, really just shows you that this, even if there was no such thing as climate change, even if there was no such thing as security, which are indeed two very important reasons for why we need to get out of this dependency, but even if there wasn't,
then it would just make sense to go the other way and have a more clean, homegrown energy base.
What's your answer to that?
First of all, I don't think it's healthy for us to be dependent on any one supplier.
Now, Norway is, of course, not to be compared to Russia or even to the US.
But nonetheless, yes, Norway is our friend.
Yes, they are supplying us with gas.
But they're not supplying us with cheap gas.
They make a lot of money on selling this to us, which is fair enough.
That is the market.
But for us, it's not an economically sustainable situation to be in.
And also, again, why?
When we have the alternatives, why not exploit the alternatives that are right there, right in front of us?
There's so many low-hanging fruits that we can pick.
And, by the way, we are actually doing it.
It's not going fast enough, if you ask me.
But in Europe, we deployed, the year before last, 78 gigawatts of new renewables.
Last year, close to 90 gigawatts.
