US would actually love for Norway to stop exporting gas since it's one of few remaining alternative sources for Europe, and US cannot exactly bomb and invade it.
and US cannot exactly bomb and invade it
Not with that attitude!

Well there is that juicy pipe from Norway to Poland it seems very bombable.
the comments on that archived article are fucked. almost all of them denying climate science, insisting renewables are a scam, and some claiming the scam is to do "eco-marxism" which is apparently when the politicians purposely make everybody poor and mad by caring too much about pollution, then everybody becomes commies about it.
at least, according to the type of powerful mind theorist who pays for an FT subscription and hangs out in the comments to complain about wind energy.
What's the deal with comments in newspapers consisting of 95% absolutely unhinged right-wingers?
Like obviously you can find these people everywhere online, but on news sites there's rarely anyone who is not like that
News sites want as many clicks, subscriptions and engagement as possible to still make a decent profit. Thus they can’t really have proper moderation because that would drive all the paying boomers away, which then results in so much shit being constantly thrown around that hinged people just don’t bother anymore.
selection bias, these people are paying 80 euro/month for a FT subscription
insisting renewables are a scam
This isn't even a fringe right view, lol. It was the thesis of Michael Moore's Planet of the Humans.
It's because people don't understand that capitalism makes everything a scam and they blame the thing (renewables in this case) instead of capitalism itself
We've had this debate every winter for the last several years and Labour always promises they're looking really hard for solutions when it's winter without ever doing anything, then hope everyone forgets in the summer when it isn't cold.
This reminds me of the book where norway is invaded by russia under the orders of angela merkel to steal its enegry for the eu.
Without having read the article: Norway, because of its fjords, has immensely easy hydroelectric. They can build dams fucking anywhere for cheap and relatively sustainable electricity, which partially explains the amount of electric cars in the country
Can someone explain to me how these archive dot ph links magically skirt around all these paywalls?
They have an FAQ and a blog where they go into a fair bit of technical detail, but basically they do cookie isolation and support only some javascript, and for hard blocks they get stuff from AMP.

There are actually plugins for browsers that can do similar stuff. Both github and gitlab have been going after the repos though. There is an active repo here https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean
