Japan's Energy Policy

Masao Sakisaka

Japanese Economy, 1975, vol. 3, issue 4, 4-37

Abstract: Our sudden awareness of energy problems in 1972-1973 suggests that a new outlook or attitude is required of us in coming to grips with these problems. Just citing a few examples - such as internal and external anxieties of oil or energy shortage, the confrontation between residents and electric power companies over the construction of power plants, international political and economic trends centering around the oil-producing Arab nations, as well as the relationship between heat generation accompanying energy consumption and abnormal weather conditions - makes clear the complex nature of the pressing problems to be solved. A critical statement that energy policy is in a chaotic state in the face of mutually contradictory claims indicates one aspect of the complexity of energy problems.
