Mr. Person, the Swedish Ministerpresident , has announced last Friday that Sweden will become independent from fossile fuel in the year 2020 . And that without nuclear power . Every form of energy used in Sweden after 2020 will be renewable . Education , determination and a good social system eliminating the personal fear of the future. We - the Anglican citizens all over the globe - will never make it I'm afraid ....
Imagine the protests from petrol station owners and coal miners and oil rig workers and shareholders ect. if Tony Blair made such an announcement .They would shoot him . If not then they would send him the CIA killers, protecting US interests ......
Wasn't that the idea of Olof Palme as well b.t.w. ?

I wouldn?t trust in the competents of the current Swedish government. I?ll believe it when I see it. I seams to me they say the words that people want to hear too much but do not do what they should do.

However, on saying that, I have noticed an increase in wind turbines in the last few years in Sweden.
