2009 JUNE 3 - JUNE 9 Budget for public works projects must not be diverted to U.S. forces in Japan: Akahata editorial New questionable methods to provide funding for the U.S. forces Japan are drawing attention. The Japanese government is using tax money earmarked for domestic public works projects to fund the construction and relocation of U.S. military facilities under the name of the "sympathy budget." Government must prioritize power generation by turning to renewable energy sources: Akahata editorial At issue now in combating global warming is how to reduce global emissions of energy-related CO2, which accounts for 90 percent of the total amount of CO2 emissions in Japan. The Japanese government in concert with the power industry has been advocating that Japan's power generation should further depend on nuclear power generation.
