I don't think anybody says "Norway pumping all that oil is good, US pumping all that oil is bad".

What people are saying "Norway use of limited resource exploitation proceeds is good, every other government sucks at it even when not outright corrupt".

What is admired here is prudent fiscal management, a government that is apparently not corrupt and not sold out to corporate interests, and just a rare example of whole country looking further than their own nose.

You can object to the source of the money but you can't object to the way they use it.
