Reply to comment by Femistale in Qatar not looking good as clearly the least sustainable country in the world on a per capita basis. by alexjones85
Yep true! Norway did and now they have the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world! The citizens of the country are all essentially stockholders in their fossil fuel resource. Now they can use that massive capital to invest in more sustainable technologies. Pretty genius from a purely economic perspective.

Qatar's doing exactly the same thing, it has the 9th largest. Norway doesn't have the biggest sovereign wealth fund, it's 3rd.
