If the price of electricity goes above $0.066 USD, the Norwegian government will cover some portion.
Goddamn ofFuckingCourse heat pumps make sense in Norway.

The federal government generally doesn't subsidize fossil fuels, rather the tax structure is considered to be a subsidy the most popular being percentage reserve depletion. I'm not arguing whether fossil fuels are subsidized or not, rather subsidies to fossil fuels isn't a cost to government spending, but a lost opportunity on government revenue.
Otoh, the federal government in United States cannot subsidize clean energy beyond similar tax breaks because for example: unlike China, India and some European parts grid operators in US are private entities and they cannot be forced to provide guaranteed power purchase agreements to clean energy for 25 years - India absolutely does this for fossil fuels and as well as clean energy, because a majority of its power grid is run by federal owned corporations and state owned corporations, ditto for China. The only sensible alternative to provide equivalent subsidy to clean energy industry would be a production linked incentive (PLI) which is very popular in export oriented trade surplus countries.
