One of the prettiest big ships on the Great Lakes:
1949 vintage, and still a steamer!

About Norway - it’s a country that’s mostly mountains and where it rains a lot. They are literally awash in hydroelectric power, so moving to electric cars is an obvious and natural step. (Same with Iceland, where they have tons of both hydroelectric and geothermic power.)

It’s just a shame that about 20% of their GDP currently comes from petroleum. Between taxes, licensing and fees on oil extraction plus the government’s direct ownership of much of the industry, petroleum absolutely dominates their economy and provides the largest share of government revenue. They’re doing a lot of things right, including being one of the first countries to implement a carbon tax, but they also clearly have not been able to find the willingness to do what really needs to be done: leave the oil in the ground.

It’s not much, but it’s original content. I would have cropped the video to the interesting stuff, but this is a limited audience and YouTube’s tools suck.

With lightweight, low power and high ground clearance 2CVs are quite decent on snow. Or you could go with the twin-engined 4x4 version – if you have deep pockets.

But will the new 2CV just be a cosmetic styling homage to the original that’s based on a conventional platform, or an actual spiritual successor that’s dirt cheap and unabashedly utilitarian?
