Sweden is a culture that's much more individual based. People cannot afford to live alone. They won't be able to. We're going to have to start sharing these costs. But it's we are not there yet. However, I can only say that this culture of everybody having their own machines and being self reliant is isn't really going to be an option.
Winter has come - and for some people it’s colder and more expensive than the recent past. This week Nate reconnects with Nora Bateson to discuss how she and others living in Sweden are responding to the phenomenal spike in their electricity costs, which are currently 35-40x higher than this time last year. What steps are people taking in their own homes to stay warm and reduce energy use, and what tools and support is the government providing its citizens? Is there any single event or person to blame for the drastic increase in energy costs or is the root cause broad and deep within the systems we have created? What can we learn from this dress rehearsal as we anticipate and prepare for The Great Simplification?
