Remmeber, that deciding to tap into oil doesn't mean you lay waste to the environment. Unlike most I suspect, I've been north of the Arctic circle in Alaska, I've seen the pipeline, and I've seen massive herds of carbou right there, herds whose numbers are increasing.
Norway's entire economy is based on oil, and it's one of the most beautiful places you could imagine.
I'm all for conservation too, but not silliness to the point where it becomes economic suicide.
