Another reason to move to the Nordics

Sverige är det enda landet i EU som har minusutsläpp av växthusgaser. Det betyder att svensk skog och mark binder mer koldioxid än vad som släpps ut från transporter, industri och annan verksamhet. Under 2024 uppgick Sveriges nettoupptag till omkring sju miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter. Det säger något viktigt i en tid där klimatdebatten ofta präglas av alarmism och tillväxtfientlighet. Sverige visar att ekonomisk utveckling, industriell styrka och minskade utsläpp kan gå hand i hand. Sedan 1990 har Sveriges BNP ökat med över 50 procent samtidigt som utsläppen minskat kraftigt. Samtidigt har även de konsumtionsbaserade utsläppen fallit tydligt över tid. Fossilfri elproduktion, teknisk utveckling, effektivare energianvändning och ett aktivt skogsbruk spelar stor roll. Världen blir inte en bättre plats för att Sverige genom politiska beslut dödar sin egen ekonomi och driver jobb och företag utomlands. Tvärtom.

The Nordics are showing what Europe’s energy future looks like. Norway already generates around 98% of its electricity from low-carbon sources, mainly hydropower and wind. Sweden’s electricity system is built around hydro, nuclear and wind. In 2024, wind reached 25% of annual power generation, and in December it became Sweden’s largest electricity source with 35% of production. Denmark is turning its wind power base into a hydrogen and e-fuels strategy, targeting 4–6 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030. This is the technological brilliance of hydrogen: it turns cheap domestic electricity into industrial power. Green hydrogen can decarbonise the sectors that direct electrification cannot easily solve: steel, fertilisers, shipping, heavy transport, industrial heat and seasonal energy storage. In Sweden, Stegra is building a €6.5B green steel plant in Boden, targeting 2.5M tonnes of annual production from late 2026, using hydrogen to cut emissions by up to 95%. This is not just climate policy. It is industrial sovereignty.

Stockholm verkar börja bli en AI-hubb för Europa 🇸🇪 Intressant utveckling

The release candidate for MCP 2026-07-28 is out. The protocol is now stateless: no handshake, no session id, any request can hit any server instance. Plus extensions as first-class (MCP Apps, Tasks), auth hardening, and a proper deprecation policy so we don't have to do this again. blog.modelcontextprotocol.io…

Sverige genomgår en "kapitalistisk omvandling" och är på ekonomisk frammarsch. Det är budskapet som nu förmedlas i amerikanska medier, där den sittande regeringen och Sveriges ekonomiska politik hyllas. 100.se/artiklar/analys/sveri…

Sweden is on fire 🔥

The Nordic model is often misunderstood. It is the combination of a large state with high economic freedom. Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway all have tax-to-GDP ratios above the OECD average. Denmark reached around 45% of GDP in 2024, while Sweden, Finland and Norway remain around or above 40%. Public expenditure is also high: Sweden and Norway were close to 50% of GDP in 2024. Yet these countries are not anti-market economies. Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland consistently rank among the world’s freest economies, with strong property rights, open trade, low corruption, efficient regulation and high business freedom. The results are clear. The Nordics combine universal welfare states with high productivity, high employment, strong human capital and world-class innovation. In the 2025 Global Innovation Index, Sweden ranked 2nd globally, Finland 7th, and Denmark 9th. This is the real lesson of the Nordic system: A large state can work when it is paired with open markets, institutional trust, fiscal discipline, education, innovation, competition and efficient public administration.

TikTok is making my life miserable by rejecting my request for the content posting API over and over again, with no details other than "follow the guidelines" - which I do. Anyone that could help me with that?

🇸🇪 The recent Swedish economic recovery is quite notable because it's happening without a boost from the housing market, construction sector. Sweden is doing what every country should be doing, to decouple economic expansion from housing inflation.

The Nordic Paradox Americans still think Sweden is socialist. Meanwhile Sweden quietly became one of the most market-driven innovation economies in the world. A country with: giant welfare systems, low corruption, powerful unions, massive tech companies, more billionaires per capita than most of Europe, and one of the highest levels of social trust on Earth. The Nordic model was never really “anti-capitalist.” It was high-trust capitalism. The real secret: Nordics optimized society like an engineering problem. Efficient institutions Digital infrastructure Long-term planning High human capital Low bureaucracy in business creation Strong property rights Stable regulations Extreme trust in contracts and institutions Result? Innovation scales faster because friction is lower. That is why countries like Sweden produce companies like: Spotify⁠ Klarna⁠ Ericsson⁠ Saab⁠ IKEA⁠ The paradox is that strong states sometimes create stronger markets. Because functioning infrastructure, education, energy systems, digitalization and legal stability reduce uncertainty. And uncertainty is poison for innovation. The same philosophy appears in Nordic defense thinking: distributed systems, network warfare, redundancy, autonomy, resilience. Not giant centralized empires. Smart networks. The Nordic countries behave less like ideological states… and more like highly optimized operating systems. “Socialism” was the branding. Systems engineering was the real product. 😄 wsj.com/world/europe/the-wor…

"The capitalist makeover has allowed Sweden to do what few industrialized countries have managed in recent years: shrink the size of the state. That has enabled the government to sharply lower taxes and, economists say, sparked a surge in entrepreneurship and economic growth."
