In Sweden there are no local sources for gas or gasoline. Everything is imported. Sweden's energy sector is almost completely in private hands. There is a major state-owned electricity producer, though. Sweden is (by the way) sometimes referred to as a country with a "socialist" economy. This is in most ways not correct. What is typical for Sweden are the high taxes and a high level of social security arrangements. But the economy as such is based on market principles and privately owned. Erik
