In an ecological breakthrough, this new oil rings will be completely powered by solar power.

I am real tired of the Norwegian government saying us citizens to be more climate friendly, to recycle, drive electric cars and such. Then doing an 180 and allowing firms to pump up millions of liters of the worst filth in the world to get some money.
