Addressing the Public[]
Finn is startled.
On June 25th, 2010, Stoltenberg attended the biannual press conference in Oslo, where he made a speech about Norway's efforts to protect the environment. He says that few people find power grids attractive, to which he agrees. He says that most Norwegian's are pro-electricity, but against power lines, to which he says won't work in the long run. He follows this up by saying, "Norway has trolls," so therefore more power lines are necessary. This startles Finn Haugen, who was attending the conference as the Wildlife Board leader, ending the film.
