The Green Party. That explains everything. Next: Ban all internal combustion engines and revert to horses, oxen and handcarts.

Maybe Obama will pick this up and make the banishment of diesel engines the final edict of his reign.

What is bad about this is that Norway promoted diesel cars just a few years ago. Also if you live south of Oslo and want to get to the main airport (Gardermoen) you have to drive through Oslo.
For a country as rich as Norway is their roads and highways are very poor, except the stretch of highway between Oslo and Gardermoen airport where the politicians drive. Many of their major roads are two lane with no shoulders. As I write this The Drøbak tunnel across the Oslo Fjord has been closed and will be for an hour or more.
They want people to take trains and buses but that is tough to do if you have children in school and daycare. Also from time to time they have worker strikes that shut down the buses and trains.
Norway is governed about as well as New York City or Chicago only with out the violence.

Haha. A long time ago Europe decided to push diesel as a way to save the environment. There are shitty little diesel cars all over England that run like shit and sound like shit. But everyone had to buy them because gasoline is so highly taxed as to make it prohibitive to buy. Now, just like everything else the stupid liberals touch, this one comes back to bite them. I love it every time this happens.
