Swiss electricity needs are met with a combination of hydroelectric power,  
Swiss nuclear power plants, and imported electricity generated by French 
nuclear  power plants. Hydro power is maxed out, Swiss nuclear power plants are 
aging,  and long-term purchasing agreements with the French start to expire in 
2020. The  solutions proposed by the electricity business establishment rely on 
"business  as usual" assumptions, with no mention made of Peak  Oil.
