Is it more immoral to export oil and gas than to actually burn it? Norway is hydro power and a lot of EVs.

The age old question of the ethical heroin dealer.

Does not selling to the local school while riding an electric scooter make it alright?

Comparing oil to heroin is beyond stupid. It's an essential good responsible for 30% of the world's energy needs. If oil disappeared from the earth tomorrow, entire nations would grind to a halt and millions would die.

I'm sorry, are you unaware of the medical uses for the opium poppy and the millions that would die | experience great pain without it?

It's not an exact analgy, sure .. but to describe it as "beyond stupid" is certainly less than bright.
