Japanese manufacturers have also developed state-of-the-art-technologies
            for new energies, including technologies for solar generation and
            fuel cells, among others. Japan’s technologies in this area are truly
            world-leading. 
            Technologies and products which reduce the consumption of fossil
            fuels are significant ways in which we can achieve environmental
            conservation coupled with economic growth. 
            The trend towards rising prices of crude oil at the global level
            has major implications for our region. Energy conservation within
            each country will help ease demand at the global level and enable
            the next generation to have access to the limited fossil fuel resources
            of the planet. This is an issue we all have in common. |
