Norway also has GREAT hydro-electric from their mountain lakes and reservoirs. So much so that many countries in Europe buy that ‘green’ power to them, in order to help them ‘meet their goals’.
...but that leads to a recent problem - the DRAINING of those lakes and reservoirs, and so Norway has told the rest of Europe to find green power somewhere else, such as the 12 nuclear plants that the German Government blew up.
the 12 nuclear plants that the German Government blew up.“
Idiots
Norway is not draining lakes they are pumping water back up hill to store power they buy from the EU via HVDC cables then sell it back for profit or use it to make aluminum.
Norway is the Kings of Hydro power. They habe enormous resources. Every fjord has a river running down the center to sea level and thousands of feet of elevation change over every short distances this is the best set up for Hydro power in all of Europe and most of the world too. Only the Tibetan plateau has more hydro potential.
Norway is Europe’s battery they can hold water back or pump it up hill with 85+% round trip efficiency. Norway sells its oil and gas to fund its social state, most new car in Norway are EVs they have plenty of hydro power to.charge them and most citizens live in Oslo anyways so they are hooked up to the HVAC grid not rural.
