Re: The real enemy is not peak oil, it's resource (4.00 / 3)
Resource nationalism? Let me just say: bah-humbug!

Norway has the ultimate model for extracting oil and managing the revenues, and their model (private corporations, national champion, high taxes, strong state intervention while respecting that private companies require profits) works very well, and happen to be pretty much "resource nationalism", as in using the resources of the nation to enrich the people (and give wealth and power to the state).

Not making a fuss just happens to be the best solution for Norway. At least at the moment (I am thinking of Jerome's oil thriller...).

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
