And who was Mr. Sevland and lots of other people waiting for??

(Yesterdays posting.)

King Harald, who you can see arriving in front of Rogaland Kunstmuseum.

He is related to many other Royals in several Europeen countries.

There were plenty of police and security people around, and some very shiny cars.

This is probably the most busy man in Stavanger this week!

I used the opportunity to take a photo when he was interviewed by our national radio station.

His name is Leif Johan Sevland, and he is now director of the ONS.

There will be more than 50.000 visitors at this famous event, the world's leading meeting place for the energy industry.

Since 1995 until last year he was the Mayor of our city, for the Conservative Party.

He is a friendly outgoing person and well known here in the region, as well as many other places in Norway as well as abroad.

If you are rich and concerned about the environment, this might be the sports car to buy?

Today, it was parked just outside the main entrance to the ONS conference centre.

Anyway, it is a Tesla Roadster bought by bellona.org and Frederic Hauge. (The man with the big smile and curly hair in the middle of the photo.)

The car goes from zero to one hundred in 3,9 seconds, and has a top speed of 210 mph. It runs on electricity, and will make around 360 km before it needs to be charged again....
