This is obviously better than Russia, but it ought to be a wake up call to remove dependency on gas altogether.
Unfortunately the latest budget indicates they’re not going to hurry up any transition.
Then what should they do when Norway starts invading Sweden, they have done it before in 1064!
Norway could buy Sweden, if they wanted to. 😉
That would be seen as a hostile takeover 😄
Nah, our government is run by a free market party, they would never oppose to someone buying something with money

Norway, oddly enough, isn’t part of the EU.
Yeah, they are part of the European Economic Area, but not part of the EU proper. Same as Iceland. The main reason for opposing full membership for the longest time has actually been fishing rights, which are often more strict in the EU
Not necessarily more strict, but joining the Union would open the waters for European fisheries which is politically unpopular.

Except for climate reasons, or even the generally beneficial goal of energy independence for its own sake.

Norway isn’t an EU member
No but they are in the Schengen Zone so they have strong economic ties with the EU

Not all of the obligations. But many.
Countries wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t worth it
Now Austria, my country, follow suit please, you love copying Germany so please do that here too
Transitioning to renewables would be better, but if we need to depend on one country, I can’t think of one better to rely on than Norway.
