   …earlier this year I watched Simon Reeve interview Trond Grande, the deputy CEO of Statens pensjonsfond, who confirmed that it’s permitted to invest “up to 2%” in ‘green’ technology but currently only invests about 0.2%, saying

   “We try to keep this fund as apolitical as possible in Norway. All we do is with a financial return in mind.”

   Ah yes, the ‘non’ politics of digging humanity into its own grave
