    About the phosphate, they didn't even talk about it in the news because its a hush-hush thing until they acctually start mining it, haha.

      It appears that they are also planning to hold a meeting to discuss the management and investment of the proceeds. Whether we establish a separate fund or merge it with the oil fund, these decisions must be made before any mining activities can commence.
      Furthermore, the mining process is not as straightforward as it may seem. It has been projected to be a costly and time consuming endeavor. As a result, we may not see any significant developments until 2030 at the earliest.

  • @KjetilBalstad
    @KjetilBalstad 4 месяца назад +2

    The thing with this discovery is the fact the ore is very very deep and in the range between very hard and impossible to mine with todays technology. That said, this was also true when we started deep sea drilling a few decades back.

      Yeah, surely, only a fraction of that will actually be mined. A ton of people living in that area. And mining it surely wouldn’t be very good for local nature either. Even though it would be satisfying having all that money rolling into the wealth fund!

    Funny thing is, in norwegian news there is very little talk about these newly discovered resources. And these specific areas where they found these resources, there are a lot of very valuable nature areas and agriculture land. Which makes extracting these new resources difficult and in some cases very controversial...

    Norway asphalts good agricultural land, so the area for growing food is getting smaller and smaller. Moreover, we save so much that we save ourselves poor.

    • @Luredreier
      @Luredreier 4 месяца назад +3

      I agree that our treatment of agricultural soil is horrible given how little we have.
      But saving the money makes sense.
      If we used all of it we'd just lose all the value to inflation.
      As it is we're able to make use of it and keep using it long term to augment our economy.

Phosphates are also found in many other products, including mineral water, toothpaste, ice cream, cleaning agents, oil drilling mud and pharmaceutical preparations.

      In the early negotiations there where agreed upon a note/chapter that said that any of the countries involved, Norway, Denmark, England could demand a revision of a small percentage of the broder, where the three countries met in the North Sea, at a later stage, after the main agreement regarding the major layout of borders where signed. The danish representative got served some 'extra' to drink, and in the end that 'side note' mentioned above was 'forgotten' to be included in the main agreement, no objections from the Dane)

    Can 5 million people produce all the goods and services that a modern society needs? No.
    Self-sufficiency in the modern world is a pipe dream, even more so for a small country.

    • @torrust
      @torrust 2 месяца назад +1

      Norwegians grew oranges in 1700s, there is a trick called greenhouse. That's the thing with energy, during cold winter period, we can produce food in a greenhouse with heating.
      There is no goal to produce all goods locally, Norway is very trade oriented. In 2023, Norway was the biggest seafood exporter in the world, but import big share of other food products. Not the most competitive place for agriculture production, but super competitive place for seafood production.

    With great power comes great responsibility (spiderman), not only for our country but the expectation the rest of Europe have for us. The demands are getting more ridicules and the political party are feeding the EU for their own gain. Hopefully changes will be made to improve Norway in the next election. We are privileged, rich and have the future generation secured, but right now it doesn't feel like that in my honest opinion.
