Norway is set to ‘completely ban’ the sale of all petrol and diesel powered cars in the next 10 years.

According to Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, politicians from both sides of the political spectrum have reached a concrete agreement that 100 per cent of Norway’s cars should be powered by green energy by 2025.

This hugely ambitious target would arguably make Norway the world leader in pushing renewable energy. This is a fascinating decision for a country which is arguably one of the largest oil exporters in the world.

Norway is no stranger to making bold strides towards being a greener country. The country recently confirmed that it would be the first country to commit to zero deforestation.

The 100 per cent target is hugely ambitious, despite the fact that the country already has 24 per cent of its vehicles running on electricity.

Then there’s Norway’s energy production of which 99 per cent is provided through its on hydroelectric plants.

There is some ambiguity however over whether the plan has been legally enforced yet with claims from another paper suggesting it was still in the later stages of negotiation.

Despite this, industry leaders have applauded the potential move with Tesla founder Elon Musk tweeting about news.

Time for countries like Nigeria to start to think about diversifying of the economy.
Within the next two decades, crude oil will be rendered useless.

NDA continu.. keep polluting your farmlands through criminality guised under freedom fighting.

TBH though, the current federal government is just paying lip service to economic diversification if the budget is to be taken seriously.

soon other countries we follow suit andf our oil will become useless

Africa, how far?

you see one of the reason we need to support the Niger Delta. countries are carrying out researches everyday on energy. oil will not last forever. if the world move away from oil. Niger Delta will be the biggest loser. Dubai discovered oil and learnt that their oil will finished by 2020. so they quickly use the oil money to developed their country.

Niger Delta don't have farm land and farm waters anymore. they are going to be the biggest loser if the world move away from oil. its time for regional government. no more free oil money. NDA shouldn't negotiate. we should enforced the true federalism not this unitary government drafted by the military.
