US exports (none / 1)

The problem is that US exports are barely half of its imports.

Re: US exports (none / 0)

Still, with the immense US domestic market, international trade is not as important to them as it is to us.

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

Re: US exports (4.00 / 2)

Because the EU internal market is smaller than the US internal market?

Re: US exports (none / 1)

Damn, got me there.

I actually had never thought of it that way. But then us up north have been in the EU for only 12 years.

I guess that's what you get from hearing "remember you live in a tiny nation extremely dependent on exports" all your life.

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

Re: US exports (none / 1)

The biggest fraction, I'm sure.

The ranking should be something like this: Germany, UK, USA, Finland, Denmark, Norway.

Ok, it seems 75,3 % of exports go to Europe and 61,2 % go to the EU.

http://www.scb.se/templates/tableOrChart____142265.asp

The ranking is

Germany 10,7 %
Norway 9,1 %
USA 7,9 %
UK 7,3 %
Denmark 7,3 %
Finland 6,4 %
Netherlands 5,1 %
France 5,0 %
Belgium 4,6 %
Italy 3,2 %

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

Here's a funny graph (none / 1)

Export to the five most important export nations. Falling export to the US, stagnant export to the UK, and growing exports to everyone else.

Tyskland=Germany

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

Re: Here's a funny graph (none / 1)

Why have exports to Italy and France started flattening in 2006-2007? Do exports to these three countries -- U.K., Italy, France -- have something in common?

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
