Nå må staten satse på Fensfeltet
Staten bør bruke noe av verdiene i Equinor og andre bedrifter til å utløse et nytt industrieventyr…
The Norwegian state must seize the opportunity presented by the Fensfeltet oil field. The country's oldest company has been declared for closure, marking the end of a proud history. For the company and the local community of Ulefoss, this moment is undoubtedly a great loss. But for the Norwegian state, it is a moment to demonstrate its resourcefulness.
The state owns several hundred billion Norwegian krone in Norwegian companies, with its largest investment in Equinor, where the state holds a 67% stake valued at around 670 billion krone. The state must now exploit this capital. It is time to release some of the state's capital to propel the next major Norwegian industrial triumph.
Fensfeltet is a good place to start by providing necessary risk capital. Ulefoss is home to Europe's largest known population of rare earth elements, which Norway, and the world, needs. Utilize the capital we all own, show strength and demonstrate resourcefulness, and build the future.
