And glory of glories, just the day before the socialist pm was on TV saying the power market is wonderful and high electricity prices are a good thing! Elections are in 2 weeks and the awful socialist will hopefully be thrown out. Reregulation by a centre-right government is not unthinkable in this absurd country.

The industry, which ten years ago pushed deregulation very strongly and initially had dirt cheap electricity (0,01 euro per kWh) is screaming for reregulation.

But the government is not offering that. They are instead hinting at special treatment for Rottneros, that is subisized electricity from the state utility Vattenfall.

This so fucking absurd! Reregulate!

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
