Sweden to "Break" Oil Dependency Habit

It was reported that Sweden is planning to switch to renewable energy and thus will break away from the dependency on fossil fuel.

And they expect to do by in less than 15 years!

"Our dependency on oil should be broken by 2020," the Guardian cited Mona Sahlin, the country's Minister for Sustainable Development as saying.

"There shall always be better alternatives to oil, which means no house should need oil for heating, and no driver should need to turn solely to petrol." Source : Bloomberg.

So Malaysia is planning to be a "negara maju" in 2020. But will it be free from depedency on oil? This is a major question for the government to answer. (alang bidara - 9/2/2006).
