Wester van Gaal
Summary
Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre is promoting Arctic oil and gas exports as essential for European energy security, claiming increased gas exports to the EU came from the Arctic. However, the article argues this narrative is exaggerated and built on misleading claims, questioning whether Arctic resources are truly necessary for Europe's energy security or if this is a political pitch.
