Look a government that can see a problem and do something about it...


BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Sweden aims for oil-free economy: "Sweden aims for oil-free economy
Stockholm street, BBC
Sweden has a head start on many countries in its use of renewables
Sweden says it aims to completely wean itself off oil within 15 years - without building new nuclear plants.

The attempt is being planned by a committee of industrialists, academics, car manufacturers, farmers and others.

The country aims to replace all fossil fuels with renewables before climate change damages economies and growing oil scarcity leads to price rises."
