Japan wakes up

Japan wakes up

Professor Isshi, who has been working hard to raise awareness of Peak Oil in Japan, after attending the ASPO workshops, writes:

The leading Japanese newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, at last reported “Oil Peak”, on 16th Sunday, on its top page. I think the article was big enough to give strong impressions to Japanese society. In addition to this, the Asahi had a large article alerting the modern wasteful civilization with a title “ Good Bye Wasteful Society”, which is to appear periodically on Sundays. The reporter named I.Tanaka, an economist, has been occasionally asking me for advice on the issues of Oil Peak, Energy and Environment. I think this is a big breakthrough for Japanese Society, considering the status of the Asahi Shimbun in Japan, the most prestigious and second biggest newspaper. So, I think this monumental.
