Norway is a country of immense wealth. Of course, this concerns national income and, more importantly, national resources. The most important one is simply .. water. The Norse people lived for eons from the water; they were fishermen and used water to sail to foreign countries (sure also rob and make war here and there) and return safely to the fjords. Today, water energy is the primary power source in Norway, and there is capacity for many more renewable power plants. The reason for this wealth in water lies in the country’s geography. During the last ice age, the government was covered by kilometers of ice. 10.000 years ago, the ice melted down in the ancient valleys beneath. The water began to fill these valleys and stream into the sea, creating the fjords. Due to the extreme tides in these fjords, there has been immense energy in these bodies of water up until today.
