Listen "Episode 4: Norway’s split identity – electrostate or petrostate? "
Episode Synopsis
Norway electrified faster and earlier than almost anyone, leading the world in renewable power generation, EV uptake and clean heating. Few countries have gone further in proving that a fully electrified society is possible. But instead of building industries to export technology at scale, Norway has largely kept its electricity advantage within its borders, while continuing to export hydrocarbons to the world. In this live episode, Rick Wheatley and Stephen Bull unpack Norway’s split identity, what others are doing to turn electrification into influence, and whether Norway can still lead.Follow us around the web: WebsiteLinkedInYouTubeChapters:00:00 Episode 4 live at the Conduit: Norway's split identity - electrostate or petrostate?01:53 Chapter 1: Norway's split identitty - electrostate or petrostate?24:25 Chapter 2: A squandered opportunity?32:33 Chapter 3: How China is converting electrification into jobs, exports and global influence38:36 Chapter 4: How might Norway seize the moment?43:26 Live Q&A with in-person and online audience
