Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years

Posted by chrisd on from the one-less-country-that-is-beholden-to-the-middle-east dept.

scottennis writes "Yahoo is carrying a story about Iceland's plan to wean itself from fossil fuels. The article states that Iceland is giving itself 30-40 years to kick the oil habit completely. Of course some researchers estimate that in 30-40 years we won't have much of a choice."

    Actually, you want us (Canada) to invade.
    Think about it, better beer, lower drinking age, etc.

    Unfortunatly we have been unable to get the Canadian Geese to carry any significant payloads when they fly south.
