Sweden oil free by 2020
Sweden decided in the early nineties that due to the volatility of the price of crude oil (and the effects that the price swinging had on it's economy) that they would become the first country in the world to become oil free. Since then, they have taken all sorts of measures to minimize their use of crude oil derivatives (namely oil/fuel) . They have a 25 year plan to be oil free by 2020 and they are on target thus far. This isn't spoken about by the popular press, it would seem that they don't want you to know about Swedens acheivements, they would rather keep this sort of knowledge quiet . Do a google on sweden and have a read.
