Why would it have to be unsprung? They are not unsprung in the vehicle shown in the article.

Is GDP the relevant metric to assess this?

About your edit: fair enough, if you are talking about primary energy production. I understood what the figure provided in the first comment was referring to (electricity production/consumption) and was addressing that.

In the end, I think the fact that they produce all of their electricity from hydro is a fantastic achievement. That you (and many others, including a lot of people in Norway) would like them to stop pumping oil from the North Sea is (for me) a different issue.

I don't think Norway producing less oil would reduce global oil consumption.

FWIW, they produce about half of what they did in the early '00s.

Let's see, the US imports 30-40% of the oil it consumes. Should that oil be accounted as used by the exporters?

Norway uses no fossil fuels for its electricity production. Norway happens to export a lot of oil. How does the second statement negate the first one?

That figure (98%) is about electricity production, not total energy used by the country.

So do we have to tally Saudi oil pollution on the exporting country instead of those that actually use it?

Not just a claim from the article. The description in the gold video itself is quite explicit.
Re:How Apple Makes the Watch on Friday March 13, 2015 @03:47AM (#9196024)
If you watch the gold video (or read the article), you'll see they're not using anything remotely similar to the process in that MMC patent. It's essentially a conventional alloy, mechanically hardened.
