Thats pretty impressive. Good for the Swedes, I'm suprised the EU as a whole isn't trying the same.

thats because the demand for it is less than it is for new petroleum based products. IF they are able to cut their oil consuption I think they might go through a short spot of a bad economy but then it would explode and they would be a very well off nation.
