Japan seeks consumer burden to push renewable energyThe article begins:
Japanese consumers will have to pay higher electricity bills under a government plan to help triple the generating capacity of renewable energy in the next decade and cut CO2 emissions.And we know how well that worked in Spain and Germany.
Utility firms will be required to buy at a fixed rate electricity generated from renewable sources of energy -- mega solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and small hydro power -- from as early as 2012, the trade ministry said on Friday.
The cost will be passed on to consumers in a scheme called a "feed-in" tariff, which is already used in countries including Germany and Spain.

Precisely. WTF is wrong with these people? How is it that the political class, worldwide, is making such astonishingly imbecilic decisions?
I'm not (expressly) blaming Germany and Spain, they had no direct hard evidence the notions were wrong (a VAST ARRAY of secondary evidence, but at least you can debate that sort of thing a bit and not be indisputably either an imbecile or a charlatan) -- Japan has no such excuse. Their politicians are self-evidently either morons or crooks.
This is perfectly the honest headline of the year such that japan is going to pay more for the electricity bills.
This post is looking very informative. The key point of this post is its valuable information. After reading this post any one will get some very important points which are only helpful even precious also. I use to visit the post of many different kinds but it is the first time when I am fully satisfied. Now a days people are in to the habit of making posts. I think it would be a good inspiration for them.
Apparently, the previous comment is the product of the decision by Craigslist to halt adult personal ads.
Its great that Japan is pushing renewable energy, but the people have to be behind them for it to actually work. To learn more about renewable energy check out www.everblue.edu
