The Swedish Prime Minister, Mr. Fredrik Reinfeldt expressed a couple of days ago worrying news; carbon-taxes are a much more effective approach in combating global warming than investments in rail-infrastructure.
It might come as a chock for people viewing Sweden as a very environmentally-friendly country that top politicians favour more or less business-as-usual rather than taking innovative, bold, corageous and desperately-needed decisions which in turn favour investments in transportation infrastructure.
Moreover top stake-holders in the transportation sector, such as Schenker and Sj (Swedish Railways) scream, and has screamed for years for infrastructure investments in order to better improve logistics and meet increasing demand. In fact, most of the rail capacity has reached its maximum in Sweden.
What is lying behind such as political statement?
