“Encouraged by generous government tax credits, about one-third of Norwegians drive zero-emission electric cars — many of them American-made Teslas.”

But of course. To a socialist the only solution involves other peoples money.

Obviously these Norwegians would not drive these cars if they were not being paid to do so. That’s nothing to be proud of. Just government intervention

We could conceivably go back in,” Trump reiterated. But he added, “The Paris accord really would have taken away our competitive edge and we’re not going to let that happen — I’m not going to let that happen.”

I hope we don’t go back in.

Sure, pitch the “green economy” while almost all of your foreign exchange comes from the sale of North Sea oil and gas. I notice the Norwegians are leaving it in the ground, but are making money off it so they can buy those electric cars.

The hypocrisy of the left is staggering.

Notice that they are tax credits, not subsidies.

A regular old Ford Mustang costs more in Norway because of taxes than a Ferrari does in America.
