We are big fans of Norway here at GD. And look – in a bid to make oil production more environmentally friendly, the Norwegian parliament is hoping to force offshore oil rigs to use electrical power rather than burn gas or diesel. Hurrah, obviously – what’s not to love about the Scandinaviafication of oil production.
The Norwegians aren’t alone either. Environmentally friendly drilling (by oil workers in shiny lipstick, obviously), is a thing, it seems…
So yay and double yay. Let’s make oil production all green and cuddly and maybe we can stop worrying about those millions of barrels that are rolling up out of the sea every day and burning…oh wait a minute….
