And Norway is VERY vulnerable to attacks on our offshore infrastructure.
Here are our #communicationCables, #pipelines, power #interconnectors. #oilAndGas installations in the North Sea (with more further to the north).
Norway attacking Russian-owned subsea infrastructure would at the very minimum lead to an attack on our subsea infrastructure.
It would be an absolutely insane risk for no substantial gain (a few billion dollars windfall is pocket change).

The rollout of overseas power interconnectors leave the UK reliant on neighbours for energy.
“It’s all part of creating a Europe-wide grid that is a back-up to renewables intermittency,” said Michael Bradshaw, global energy professor at Warwick Business School. “The downside is it’s exposed to energy security threats — it’s just like a gas pipeline except it’s electrons, not molecules.”

Another bit of #BrexitReality:
We trade #energy with our neighbours via #interconnectors; #electricity transfer cables;
In the #EU flows are governed (automatically) be demand, price & supply, to equalise the effects of energy demand spikes.
Now, even with a new interconnector to #Denmark, the EU connection(s) are governed by policy, which is to say when the EU wants to conserve energy the UK is (temporarily) removed from the network
difficult to see that as part of the 'benefits' of Brexit!
