Swedish public television sent a reportage asking if we are in the midst of a green #bubble about to burst

#Northvolt, the #battery factory, has huge economic problems and could be in the bridge of bankruptcy

It is a problem of expectations: have they been too optimistic about solving difficult technical problems (that seems like they have not solved yet), and too unrealistic about how many electric cars will/can be sold?

Northvolt might have been in a better place if we hadn't elected a new government that made 180° on the environment. The bonus to electric cars was scrapped and the fossil fuel prices are now among the lowest in the EU. Nuclear power has the focus, more than renewables.

@leffe I do agree that the current government and their nonsense policy regarding energy transition doesn't help. Although I believe there are further issues than those, global issues in the way we are framing the energy and climate change problem and the solutions.
