"Sweden Aims to End Oil Dependency by 2020"

So, while I think Bush's announcement on cutting US reliance on oil is mostly an empty political promise Sweden seems much more serious about it. This quote sums it up:

"'Honestly, what is the alternative?' she said. 'Wait and see when oil gets even more expensive?'"

    I think if a country could pull it off, one in Scandinavia would be it. Go Sweden... I don't think they'll completely eliminate their dependency in 15 years, but they'll be able to lessen it to an extent that it actually makes a difference.

    and maybe...just maybe...if other countries see that it can be done, they'll start doing it...and maybe, just maybe, it will turn into a beautiful chain reaction.

    but that's wishful thinking...
