Norway, Denmark and The Netherlands are all part of the European Union. Would you make the same claim if we were talking about US states? (With Texas being a special exception)

Norway is member of the European Economic Area, not of the European Union, together with Iceland and Liechtenstein.

It is practically the same, you're beholden to all the laws of the European Union without having a say in them. Kind of like Puerto Rico, which is still considered a US State despite having no votes in congress.
It's a risk management thing. "Can a trade dispute or undersea 'accident' lead to mass blackouts?"
There is one error there, Norway is not in the EU
