Oil: We all know that using it causes pollution and global warming, but at the same time, we can't do without it. Or can we? The Swedish government thinks so. It has plans to make Sweden the world's first oil-free country by the year 2020. This is good news for the environment and it is also a smart move, as the world may soon run out of oil! But how does the government of Sweden plan to do this?
Sweden has a good record for protecting the environment and already uses little oil compared to most other countries. For years, the Swedish government has encouraged people to buy hybrid cars, and almost all homes in the country are now heated using geothermal energy. Now, it hopes to reduce oil use even more and has been looking for ways to do this. Scientists in Sweden are developing biofuels and Swedish car companies like VOLVO are working on cars that will use these oil-free. The government is also looking at more ways to use the energy form the sun, wind, and waves.
Sweden is not the only country preparing for an oil-free future. The government of Iceland and Brazil, for example, both have similar plans. As global warming gets worse and the world's oil supplies slowly run out, one can only hope that more countries do the same!

石油: 使用石油會產生污染以及全球暖化是眾所周知的事, 但是在此同時; 我們不可能不用它. 或者, 我們能嗎? 瑞典政府認為我們可以. 瑞典政府訂定計畫在2020年成為全球第一個不使用石油的國家. 這對政府來說是個好消息而且同時也是個明智之舉, 因為全球蘊藏的石油很快在不久的將來即將耗盡.

瑞典一向在環境保護方面有卓越的聲譽而且和大多數其他國家比起來已經消耗比較少的燃油. 多年來, 瑞典政府已經在鼓勵民眾購買混合燃料的車種, 而且幾乎所有瑞典國內的家庭都已經使用太陽能提供暖氣. 現在, 瑞典政府希望進一步降低石油的使用而且已經著手去找可行的方法來執行. 瑞典的科學家正在研發生技石油以及瑞典的汽車公司如VOLVO(富豪汽車)目前正在研發使用這類生技石油的車輛. 瑞典政府也同時探究其他各種來自太陽能, 風力以及水力所提供的能源.

瑞典不是唯一的國家在為一個無石油的未來在做準備. 以冰島和巴西政府為例, 他們都有類似的計畫. 隨著全球暖化日漸嚴重加上全球石油供應逐漸耗盡, 我們只能期望有更多的國家加入一起去做這件事.
Sweden has a good record in terms of protecting the environment and is already consuming little oil compared to most other countries. For years, the Swedish government has encouraged people to buy hybrid cars, and almost all households in the country are now heated using geothermal energy. For the next step, it hopes to reduce oil usage even further and has been exploring options to do this. Scientists in Sweden are developing biofuels and Swedish car companies such as VOLVO are working on cars that will run with these none-oil energies. The government is also looking into ways of how to use the natural energy from the sun, wind, and waves.
Sweden is not the only country preparing for an oil-free future. The government of Iceland and Brazil both have similar plans. As the global warming worsens and the world's oil resource slowly runs out, one can only hope that more countries will do the same!
