Next, I would like to mention Japan’s technologies for energy conservation.
With energy-saving technologies in refrigerators and air conditioners
having progressed dramatically these last ten years, and liquid crystals
drawing much attention as a form of low-energy, climate change-mitigating
technology, the technology incorporated into Japanese products ranks
among the best in the world.
Today, through the cooperation of various private-sector companies,
we are able to have compact fluorescent light bulbs and energy-saving
types of air conditioners on display just outside this meeting room.
The air conditioner was designed such that it conserves energy based
on the user’s degree of energy-saving awareness. I would like to
invite you to take a look at the display outside when you have a
moment.
Also, the speakers that will be used at the reception tonight are
particularly thin and light ones which have been designed through
noise control technology. These speakers are also 90% recyclable
and I do hope that you take advantage of the opportunity to observe
them at the reception tonight. |
