Norwegian energy giant Equinor: Boss warns higher bills are here to stay

“everyone [should] use as little energy as possible.”

I wonder how many flights he’s taken this year. I wonder what his personal energy usage metrics are.

That would be a fun little side game - anyone who runs in the circles to decide energy cost/policy/etc has their metrics beside their face when they speak. Just for fun.

or we could repeal current stupid EU energy market (paying top bidding price for all of energy) just the way Portugal and Spain managed to carve out (40euro/MWh https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_...) and not overpay for cheap energy like it was all generated with super expensive gas? For reference today Spain/Portugal spot price was 25x cheaper than south of Norway. https://euenergy.live

Much higher bills, but not as volatile.

Of course they want this! Big win for energy companies, huge loss for consumers. All they had to do was create a pseudo-religion and get enough of the population on board.
