Nippon wind!
Jan. 22nd, 2008 by Al 
Japan a country of beauty, traditions yet an industrial high tech power arisen from ashes after WWII post war years may have yet have a new state mission, this time to harness the power of wind to move away from the dependency of fossil power that her economy rides on.
Coastal wind farms are being plan to set up to tap into the gales of the Pacific ocean.Meanwhile existing wind farms on the hills north of tokyo generates enough electricity to power up some 35,ooo households a year.
Already Japan is looking into some of successful places like Scotland which installed offshore turbines in deep water in 2006.In land scare island like Japan, this presents the technology to maximize the wind power for her.
Though it’s going to be naive to think that she can replace fossil energy with wind power in the land of the rising sun if she was to maintain her economic leadership in the world.Such move is neccessary for the survival of her society pampered by years of growth in her heyday era.
Like any industries Japan embark on, once it’s in for the national interest , they are most likey to do well , it’s part of the japanese makeup for the relentless pursuit of perfection However wealth and skills alone are not going to turn the tide for this far eastern isle in the next decade.
