Flaut plays at the Storting – altaposten.no

With marginal 85 against 84 votes, the electrification with shore power can go on Melkøya, but we think many are left with a embarrassing taste in the mouth after the play at the Storting last Tuesday.

With a bunch of suggestions and political betrayal, the opposition performed to shoot a majority to look at alternatives to electrification of the gas plant with electricity from land, such as carbon capture and storage.

In 1971, the SP Chief and Prime Minister Per Borten used the term « carrying stools » when he was to save the government, but the striking cooperation in the Storting last Tuesday matches most. Here there was a whole scrub with pointed financials to be carried to squares.

The compromise proposal, which for a while was considered the solution, was shot down by the Left and the Center Party’s Ola Borten Moe, apparently without anyone being particularly prepared.

Internally in the parties, we believe there are many who are both unbelieving and disappointed with the outcome, while it is easy to understand that the players at Melkøya breathed out. They have received their agreements and licenses.

It gives us the opportunity to rewind a few years. Regardless of what one might think of electrification of Melkøya with electricity from land, there is reason to be worried about the process itself.

The Center Party must take much of the responsibility, even if they have regretted the mistake after the breakup. As a government party, they were not at all bound to a post on this issue, considering that the national assembly gave a crystal clear advice to say no to electrification. In addition, it ends with not voting together.

For parliamentary candidate Trine Noodt and county leader Jørund Greibrokk in the Left, it must be perceived as a nightmare that the party failed on the rise side. The duo has stated exceptionally clearly in this question, on the border of oblique, but ends up with a lead heavy should towards the parliamentary elections. Confidence is cleaned away.

The oil and gas nation of Norway is not known to slow down after a plan for development and operation (PDO) has been prepared. It goes fast in the turns on the industry’s premises, such as Equinor, which has tremendous defining power for the choices the nation should make.
