Norway’s economy is dependent on fossil fuels which represent over 50% of their exports and 20% of their GDP.

The idea that Norway holds some sort of moral high ground with respect to fossil fuels is offensive.

They at the very LEAST deserve the moral high ground of largely distributing the economic benefits of those fossil fuels to their citizens rather than to a dozen billionaires while their nation's infrastructure becomes dilapidated

True, but Norway still has more billionaires per capita than the US, several of them from the oil sector.
