Solar won't work in Norway in the winter. Wind is too intermittent. So you need an alternative. I don't know if burning stuff and capturing CO2 is a good alternative.
The problem with carbon capture is that (a) it takes a lot of energy and (b) is only marginally ahead of fusion on being ready for widespread deployment. So compared to that basically anything is a better alternative.
In the case of Norway, apparently they produce ~90% of their electricity from hydro. Good strategy if there’s lots of spots in your country for hydro electric dams, pretty difficult to replicate if not.
