Western Europe's biggest oil producer has decided coal is too dirty to invest in. Norway's $890 billion sovereign wealth fund, built on more than four decades of extracting crude from the North Sea, was ordered by lawmakers May 27 to limit holdings of companies that produce or burn coal. That could trigger at least $4.5 billion in divestments of stocks such as RWE AG and Duke Energy Corp. "There's this incredible logic that coal is the climate problem, and Norway is helping solve the world climate problem by producing gas that can replace coal in Europe and reduce emissions," Rasmus Hansson, a lawmaker for the Green Party, said in a phone interview. "That logic has unbelievably been accepted by the Norwegian majority as credible-which it isn't."
