Oil-free Sweden by 2020

Are you kidding me?

Sweden has a bold vision of how to get off of the oil addiction.
Could they really be oil-free in 15 years?
If the rest of the world had the same attitude, could we all achieve that goal?

I've got the story, the government agency and the official report right here.

The Official Government Report

Excerpt from the report:

Declining access to conventional oil, in combination with our joint responsibility to stop
global warming, will be a test of the world community’s readiness to switch to energy
systems that are more sustainable in the long term. Basically, it is a question of the will to
show solidarity with present and future generations.
Sweden accepts this challenge!
In this document, we propose a number of far-reaching, concrete measures that can end our
dependence on oil by the year 2020 and tangibly reduce our use of oil products. Our
ambitious objectives are as follows:
• Through more efficient use of fuel and new fuels, consumption of oil in road transport
shall be reduced by 40-50 per cent.
• In principle no oil shall be used for heating residential and commercial buildings
• Industry shall reduce its consumption of oil by 25-40 per cent
