As of March 2008, Japan has increased their wind energy output 80 times from the level of output 10 years ago, pumping out nearly 1,700,000 kilowatts of energy from wind power alone. And just last year, Japan pledged to cut its own emissions by 60-80% from current levels by 2050. On top of that, in 2008, then prime minister Yasuo Fukuda presented a plan to cut global emission by 50%. A surprising, but welcome initiative. How did Japan do it?
Like many other European countries, Japan has increased government subsidies given to power companies and other retailers that encourage them to switch to a more efficient form of energy production. The wind energy target for the next two years is to expand the output to 3 million kilowattsÂcalling for a virtual doubling of the over 1,400 wind turbines already in place.
