"Green cars"

In March 8 735 “green cars” were registred in Sweden. This corresponds to 34, 1 % out of all cars registred compared with 38, 2 % in March 2009. A dip by 4 %, although there are more “green car” models to choose from and more consciousness among the buyers, or is it not? Of course we don’t have the premium of 10 000 SEK you got when you bought a “green car” we had earlier, but the “green cars” are exempt from tax the first five years. We have a never ending discussion about the negative aspects of each renewable source of fuels. Perhaps this make potential buyers unsure. But, the share of “green cars” should rise instead of decrease, don't you think?
