We have a new source to draw on for Renewable news and action, including Norway today. I have contacted Charlie to see how we can cooperate. Coal, peat, divestment, oil, EVs (especially Tesla), solar panels on gas stations, storage in Hawai'i, nuclear sludge—Wait. What? Is this like iron-hulled sailing ships?

Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund Divests Itself Of Climate-Destroying Stocks Worth $3 Billion
May 14, 2020
The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund has sold $3 billion worth of energy stocks and other companies it finds are seriously harming the environment. Most of the stocks it sold in the energy sector are for Canadian companies involved in producing and distributing oil derived from the Alberta tar sands. According to the CBC, Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, announced on Wednesday it would stop investing in Calgary-based Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, Suncor Energy, and Imperial Oil after concluding they produce unacceptable levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
Getting rid of the shares of the 7 companies at this time wasn’t an easy task, given the market turmoil caused by the coronavirus and the plunging price of crude oil. Apparently, there weren’t all that many buyers begging to acquire the shares of those companies.
This is just the latest chapter in an ongoing saga [sic] involving trolls and fire giants.
