So - since not many people here know much about Sweden’s economics - let’s do a quick translation into US dollars. The conversion rate is about 10 SEK to the dollar.

But the Swedish government’s expenditure on green energy initiatives doesn’t seem too outrageous.

Sweden’s population is about 10 million - compared to 330 million in the USA. So this initiative in Sweden is costing about $82 per person per year. Which is about 0.17% of each person’s income.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Average salary in Sweden is SEK 481, 200 which is about $48,000 US. The average salary in the USA is $59,428 - .

500,000 SEK for an EV is $50,000 US…that’s about the cost of a mid-range Tesla Model Y in the USA,

I agree that the price of EV’s in Sweden represents a larger percentage of average income than in the USA. Probably because Sweden doesn’t make their own EV’s and importing such things isn’t cheap.

Do you think Japan will have same-sex marriage by 2030?

And the 8.2 billion SEK spent on public green energy is about $820 million US.

CONCLUSIONS:

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.
