Sweden’s goal to be oil independent

To make sure Sweden will be oil independent Prime Minister Göran Persson appointed an expert council called The Commission on Oil Independence in December 2005. This summer the Commission will present actions necessary to achive the new goal. :D

However two of the Commission members (Göran Persson and Leif Johansson, from Volvo) do not agree with each other and it looks like the results will be delayed….. :( According to the Commission the oil consumption should decrease by 40% in Sweden till year 2020, but Leif Johansson think that kind of goal will hit the Swedish companies too hard. Johansson and Persson are also disputing on what kind of new energy sources Sweden should use instead of oil.

Lets hope they can find a solution before the end of this summer…
