At Heroeya in southern Norway, the country's biggest onshore industrial site is planning to go fully electric by replacing its use of natural gas with power from the grid, part of a nationwide push to cut the country's CO2 emissions.

, one of the companies based at Heroeya, uses vast quantities of natural gas to make the hydrogen it needs to produce 500,000 tonnes a year of ammonia.

"We need power at affordable prices," Winther told Reuters. "We also need proper governmental support to be able to make this shift. We are in a global competition, and we need to have support schemes that fit with what is available in other countries."Oil and Energy Minister Terje Aasland said authorities were doing all they could to stop Norway becoming a net power importer by 2027.

Options to expand hydropower are limited, onshore wind farms are facing local opposition across the country, and plans to build large-scale offshore wind farms have been scaled down due to controversy about exporting power.The government is confident it can achieve its ambitions to electrify big polluting sites, citing its first ever offshore wind licensing round to be launched this year and changes it has made to make building onshore wind turbines faster.

Politicians of the world, why are you silent in front of the chemical attacks on girls' schools in Iran? If you do nothing, you can be sure that these attacks from the Islamic Republic will soon reach Europe and America.

Big brain move

And where does the Grid generate its power from

Could this be why they were in the Nord Stream pipeline bombing

The world is going to need doubles and triples the amounts of power we use today ... not ever less. That is why we have to wrap our heads about using nuclear and how to make it safe. Maybe taking the profit out of it. Water is neede to be desalinated and pumped all over.

Well now that Norway is providing all the natural gas to Europe since the mysterious destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, I’m sure Equinor will let the profits trickle down to the fattigfolk peasants that can’t heat their homes in the winter.

Do these people hear what they say? Do they think about this at all?

Power producer after they helped the US blow up the Nord stream pipelines.

How is the grid powered?
