what a bold statement.

I used to run seti@home in my datacentres

That's how old I am 😂

The country that has the most energy resources in the EU that could benefit their population with mining. Doesn't want want to use mining.

What a joke.

Norway isn't actually in the EU, although does have very close ties and is in the EEA so does have to follow a lot of their rules. But not a fully fledged EU country

Yikes. That's unfortunate.
