Japans Abhängigkeit von ausländischem Öl wird zu einem Problem der nationalen Sicherheit. Doch Sonderinteressen blockieren die Einführung von Solarenergie und Elektrofahrzeugen

Why does this sound familiar?

It turns out that having your country completely controlled by a small group of old and stupid millionaires is a bad thing
Isn’t Japan’s solar power adoption rate per unit of land area already among the highest in the world?
There is a significant part of Japan where solar panels don’t work very well during winter months. A lot of Japanese terrain isn’t friendly to mega solar projects. Cutting down forests to install solar panels seems like changing one problem for another.
there was a big push for solar after 2011 and Fukushima crisis. But one of the big issue is : while power companies are steadily increasing their prices , the FIT ( feed in tarrif ) is outrageously low for solar panel owners while the price of equipment is increasing due to weak yen . This is a shame because solar is working very well in japan , even in hokkaido
I’d hardly say Japan is alone in this issue, but yes globally countries with heavy oil dependency continue to get screwed every time there’s an oil issue.
