    "Sweden, birthplace of the Smörgåsbord, Eric Northman, and the world's preferred solar-powered purveyor of flat-pack home furnishings, is in a bit of a pickle: the squeaky clean Scandinavian nation of more than 9.5 million has run out of garbage."

    sounds like a cheap energy source and it help make sure the environment stays clean too.

    This is really interesting. The article skims over the possible downsides to this program, though. It mentions that "highly polluting dioxins" that are produced by the process are landfilled again in Norway. What are the effects of the dioxins, and if they are highly polluting, is simply landfilling them safe? Also, importing garbage from Italy would require a lot of resources. I'd like to know the cost vs. benefits of that solution.

    That is incredible. Unfortunately I don't believe america is anywhere near this good at managing our waste.

    I think that is a great idea. They can find cheap energy source and keep it clean.

    Police investigator Peter Springare isn't likely to be among those mocking President Trump for his remarks about refugees in Sweden. Trump's comments during a Florida campaign rally on Saturday - which some took as a misstatement about a supposed terror attack - dovetail with what Springare has been seeing during a typical week in Orebro, Sweden.

    Trump has been famous for saying offensive things, but a chunk of the occupants are migrants.

    "That appeared to confuse the Swedish government, which asked the U.S. State Department to explain what the new president meant."

    Before his defection, he was a career diplomat, fluent in English, who had served in Britain, Denmark and Sweden, often delivering passionate speeches glorifying the Kim family that has ruled North Korea for seven decades.
