Carbon-free Sweden
By Michael J.W. Stickings
Presumably the Swedish people are still full of carbon, but Brad Plumer has a post up on how Sweden is "aiming to end its oil dependency by 2020".
Yes, yes, I know, Sweden is Sweden, an exceptional Scandinavian case, and we can't all be like the Swedes, and we don't want to be exactly like them -- but still. It's an example of how to address the most pressing issue of our time, and what they've done and are doing ought to be taken seriously and to be considered seriously even in less "Swedish" countries like the U.S.
Or does it all make way too much sense for a country with a moron like James Inhofe in the upper chamber of its legislature and a similar moron down the road in the White House?
