Now THIS I can get behind. Imagine the reduction in U.S. carbon emissions if we required every new house built to include solar panels in the roof (and/or walls, as that technology is becoming available too)? I am sure the K Street lobbyists for Exxon and BP have already warned the Congressmen on their payrolls against even considering following Japan's admirable example.
What a way to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. In the wake of the awful Chernobyl-class nuclear accident at Fukushima this spring, Japan has not only dramatically curtailed its plans to expand future nuclear energy production, but is
now taking affirmative steps to embrace renewable energy on a massive scale. Bravo, Nippon!
