Usually when companies talk about an "enormous environmental toll" i get the feeling the business case must be weak. But giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming the tech is legit and it all makes economic sense, why Norway?
And if distance to market is such a crucial factor (b/c it sounds like the may business will be battery recycling), why not the geographic south? Albania also runs on 100% hydro and I'm sure the wages are a tiny fraction of Norway (not to mention the environmental/bureaucratic issues)
I noticed Northvolt employees are here, so maybe they can fill out the fluff a bit. Why Northvolt and not Southvolt?
