The world's largest wind farm is being built by Norway to power offshore oil and gas fields.
We are also raising our eyebrows at this time.
Equinor, an energy giant from Norway, is also drilling for oil and gas in the area.
The country is currently the most fossil fuel dependent democratic in the world.
The company claims that they will control nearly half of the world's offshore windmills once the project is complete. Equinor is already Europe's number two exporter of natural gas, and completing the hywind dam will make them a global player in the renewable market as well.
About 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 110,000 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions each year will be cut by 35 percent of the energy needed to power the oil and gas operations with the help of the hywind tunnel.
Alleviating the need to burn fossil fuels wherever possible is never a bad thing.
Norway has a complicated relationship with the EU. The government seems to have no intention of slowing down fossil fuel operations even though they have the highest rate of electric cars in the country.
Making something a little bit green doesn't mean it's green.
The partners in the project will continue to rely on non-renewables to fuel their drilling enterprises, which will only add to Norway's oil and gas over reliance problem.
There is a drive to go green in Norway.
Japan tested a giant turbine that uses deep ocean currents to generate electricity.
