Is Sweden Really Green or Just Rich? | OpenMarket.org
The conclusion is the one that you will hear the amazing policy fellows at CEI repeat over and over again, wealthier is healthier and richer is cleaner. The greenest thing you could have done to celebrate Lenin’s birthday today, eh…, I mean to celebrate earth day today is to help increase free trade, help do something to get another poor farmer or factory worker in a developing country get out of poverty. If they get rich, they can afford to clean up their environment, just like the countries on top of the environmental performance index have been able to do.

Your http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2008/04/windy-denmark-question.html post that has a link to a Denmark story helps explain a bit as to why Sweden is so rich:
"Moreover, because you cannot store any wind power that is generated when no-one wants to use it, Denmark has to sell excess wind-power to Sweden at a price of 0c per KWh."
I wonder how much power Sweden gets for free?
