What would you like Norway to do? It's been more successful than other countries (generally speaking) insulating its economy from Oil. Would it be better to _not_ also try to drive adoption of clean energy?

What? Their economy is highly dependent on fossil fuel exports. Just because the oil is being burned somewhere else does not absolve them from having dug it up in the first place. Everyone is living on the same planet
Wasn't my point. Domestic economy has suffered less from Dutch Disease than a lot of other countries in their position.
My point is that reducing this to "Norwegians still buy cars and cars are bad" is reductive, and if people are going to buy cars, reaching high levels of electric car use is a good outcome.
Now there should also be focus on reducing car use period. But that doesn't mean it was a mistake to electrify transportation in the meantime.
