We should stop paying China to use up our electricity
Ole-Andreas Elvik Næss: If we first want to pay owners from China and the US to run energy-intensive industries in this country, it is better if we pay them to do something other than use our electricity.
We live in a time with great opportunities for innovation, but also in a part of the world with a great shortage of electricity. Yet in Norway we spend seven billion kroner annually in electricity subsidies to China and others, Ole-Andreas Elvik Næss writes.
