Could you link an English-language press release on the previous? I'm curious about the details. (Especially whether the wind power part will be all the utility's investment and will be owned by it, or is at least some co-ownership - say with farmers - foreseen.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
There is one strange thing in this press release.
Att riksdagen beslutar om stödsystemet är en viktig förutsättning för att projekten skall kunna genomföras eftersom endast vissa vattenkraftprojekt bedöms kunna genomföras affärsmässigt utan elcertifikat.
or, in English:
An important precondition for the implementation of the projects is that parliament approves the support system, as it is estimated that it will only be possible to realise some of the hydro power projects on a commercial basis without electricity certificates.
This can mean either:
1) Without the subsidies only some hydroelectric projects are viable. That is, the wind is not viable without support.
or
2) Without the subsidies only some of the hydroelectric projects are viable (while other hydroelectric projects are not), while wind is viable without subsidies.
I am afraid alternative 2 is the correct one.
Maybe I should mail or call Vattenfall? Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
And I meant "premature closing" not "premature losing" in the above comment. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
