Water fueled propulsion?

How could we sell more gas? We [Norway] were already exporting all we had. We're now suffering high prices domestically, and falling demand for our exports to Europe (non-energy). Our government is as unpopular as can be and all due to energy costs. We're inter-connected economically, and Europe's failures are ours. We had all the money we needed ($1 tn savings), and our electricity, oil and gas exports were very profitable, without any domestic consequences.

Except Norway can't supply more gas, we were exporting at full capacity. It takes years to expand. Higher prices, sure, but at what cost? We are dependent on Europe, so if their industries stop and purchasing power falls we also lose. No, you're utterly wrong, and you don't know much about Norway, that's for sure.

District heating is common in the Nordic countries. We also have lots of off peak hydro power that could be used to heat this. I think the article focused too much on solar/wind, but I guess it's what the world has.

"Crowd into trains"? I feel planes are where we crowd together! Trains are heavenly places by comparison. What kind of trains do you know? A busy commuter maybe? European trains are like somewhere between first class and business on airplanes, in my experience. There are local commuter trains, but we're not talking about them on long distances. The excellent high speed trains in Europe offer more room and better facilities than any airplane! Take Italy's fantastic trains (international and national) and find out how you're treated, pay a little more and get six people to a carriage, proper dinner served by waiters, etc.

Your knowledge of Europe and its geography seems superficial, you have to be American to claim the area available for solar is not available. "Europe" includes all kinds of countries and is larger than the US(!) Let's say we remove European Russia from that area for now, but add in all of Turkey. There are huge areas that are not even populated in mainland Europe. For example in sunny Spain! There are plans for power cables from North African solar plants in addition to the existing gas pipelines that cross the Med now. The seas outside the UK, Denmark, Netherlands and Norway is where we host huge offshore wind farms. We [Europeans] are building the same type of wind farms off the US' coast these day.

"Pumped hydro" is exactly what the EU looked at doing by moving surplus power from wind/solar sources in continental Europe to places like Norway and Sweden with its huge hydro resources. We have the power cables in place already. These days we're more focused on producing hydrogen and huge plants are being built.

Nuclear is great though! We're planning on building a lot more EPRs across Europe. On the other hand, we're making huge leaps on fusion in France (ITER) and the UK now. The new miniature nuclear reactors (SMR) made by R-R might be the game changer we need for the short term.

I work in a team that, among other things, does forensic acquisitions of electronic devices on a regular basis, including with the police.

This type of scenario is what we scare the new recruits with when we have them in day-1 training. So much effort goes into acquiring devices (warrants, court orders, co-ordination, deployment, police presence, etc) and there's so much riding on the (potential) evidence on them that it would be devastating to go through all of that effort only to be foiled by a remote wipe.

It is best practice to turn the device on airplane mode as soon as the device comes into your possession, and/or put it in a faraday bag. There are special ones made specifically for mobile phones that have windows in them so you can see the device's screen. They cost $200. The acquisition and chain of custody forms you have to fill in when acquiring a device in the field usually even have a box you have to tick to indicate that you have put it in flight mode.

tldr; there are robust best practises in place, they weren't followed in this case.

Yes, but Gibraltar is not a country. It's just a British enclave in Spain. It has it's own gov't and laws, but it's still not a country.

All of the Scandinavian/Nordic countries have the same system. It's called the Nordic model for a reason!

Yes, she's called Sherise "Shares" Bonds.

Please, explain Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Germany, etc. Do they have oil? No.

The oil & gas sector employed 1% of Norwegians last year (including suppliers). It represented 14% of GDP. However the sector is Norway's largest measured in terms of value added, government revenues, investments and export value (40%). All of the revenue is invested abroad using a SWF.
