“slammed” in the headline -> fast ignore
There’s not enough lithium on the planet to defossilify our modern industrial lives
I wonder if their claims are based on fact.
Other data shows Japan’s emphasis on clean energy.

I mean, yeah. The country bet hard on Nuclear power/fuel cells as a way to reduce carbon emissions, and populist bullshit fucked up the former whilst the latter has ended up being another example of the Japanese Galápagos syndrome. So it really is not surprising that Japan is still unable to reduce its carbon footprint.
To be fair, every country at COP 28 has been cheerleading the use of fossil fuels. Japan is walking arm in arm with the rest of the world into climate disaster.
When will we realize that reducing usage is a lot easier than transitioning. Get rid of cars from cities and make them more walkable as a start.
Whwre is chinas award?
It’s kind of bizarre Japan doesn’t make more use of their geo thermal power. Or build more off-shore windpower in combination with their abundant pumped storage hydro capacity.
Why doesn’t anyone ever chastise China or India for pollution?
Japan is doing the most. They are depopulating their country with the lowest birthrate on earth.
How did those vigilant climate fighters got to Dubai? Just curious.
If they are doing something to piss off the eco extremists it must be right.
