Wow, now THAT's leadership! Taking action! Thanks, Arild!
From the story-
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. We must therefore act now. We must increase our efforts in renewable energy, we must increase efficiency in energy usage, and we must succeed with carbon capture and storage. The Norwegian Government’s proposed allocation towards CCS in the 2010 National Budget is the largest ever. This is to ensure success in the development of CCS technology that can be used worldwide, and which may be crucial in the fight against climate change, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Terje Riis-Johansen.
