How Do You Say "Drill Baby, Drill" in Norwegian?

Here's a fun tidbit. Those Euro-cosmopolitan Scandinavians, the Norwegians to be precise, are getting tough on the energy companies operating in Norwegian waters. Music to the ears of bien pensant elitists here in the US, no? You can almost see the words on the pages of the New York Times, "Getting tough on those oil companies is exactly the right thing to do and as you would expect from the environmentally enlightened Europeans as compared to our retrograde approach here in the US." Wait a minute. Not exactly. The Norwegian government is getting tough because they want these companies to get it in gear, to ramp it up, to get their hands on more hydrocarbons. Norway wants to see "maximum exploitation" of the resource. While the Obama administration and its radical green zealots , like Carol Browner, choke vitality out of the world-leading US energy industry, the rest of the world is getting quite serious and quite busy producing the energy that the world will need to maintain the growth of global living standards. Sad.

UPDATE: Obama's war on our energy supplies rages on...
