Episode notes

I saw your Facebook post yesterday or the day before on how extreme the energy prices are now in Sweden. I just think it's so topical. It's like a dress rehearsal for things that you and I have been working on discussing for a long time. So maybe just tell me what's going on. Well, the price of heat has skyrocketed. The price of electric has skyrocketed therefore the price ofHeat. Primarily houses in Sweden are heated with electric heat. Most of the time that heat is that electric is produced by either nuclear or hydro plants.

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?
