Energy tax reduction?

Now , before you go shooting off at the electric companies, read this entry I made in TheLocal on January 11th

" According to the E-control and VassaETT EU price index (including taxes) for Jan 2011 the average generation and distribution costs account for 75% of the bill. In Sweden, however, these "so-called greedy" power companies account for only 65% of the bill. This is remarkably efficient considering the geography and population size/distribution in Sweden".

So it costs less to generate and distribute in Sweden than in the neighbour Nordic countries.

The differences are in the taxes!!

"The high price has prompted enterprise and energy minister Maud Olofsson to float the possibility of reducing the energy tax". via
