5. Thanks :). On Norway - they are also the world leader in EV purchases, percentage-wise

AFAIK. I read that some time ago.

I did a quick search just to make sure something hadn't changed, apparently not:

Just 45 petrol cars sold in Norway in July as EVs hit 92 per cent of sales, The Driven, 8/15/24

This July, full battery electric vehicles (BEVs) made up 91.9% of all newly registered vehicles, up from 81.7% in July 2023.

It reminds me of Norway (I believe) who consumes mostly clean energy in their own country yet the export of fossil fuels is a major financial staple of theirs.

Yup, that sounds like Norway.
