I'm assuming this is somewhat counterproductive but I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to solar so someone who knows more than me can tell me if I'm being dumb.
Also notice the golf course right next to it, very good for the environment.
Energy is always going to be tricky for Japan, being a densely populated island where most of the land is either mountains or cities. IIRC they're massively dependent on LNG imports? Wonder how that's going what with the Europeans messing up the market since 2022.
Golf is the mange of capitalism, and a cure has yet to be found.

I regret to inform you that even Cuba has a golf course
Revisionist traitors 
North Korea has a ski resort.
Turns out the Ultras were right all AES states are failures

I could maybe forgive them one thing, but between this and baseball, it's gulag time.
maybe hoxha had a point
If anyone can get those tidal generators going Japan is probably set (at least until the next tsunami)
You know it has environmental effects too, right? People will just complain about that. Also, there's probably not enough energy.

Nah they're going green now! Ammonia 
Remembering that time 9 years ago when I was convinced that solar freaking roadways will save us.
Ugh don’t remind me
So epic
I thought self driving cars were 1 year away from destroying the trucking industry like 10 years ago
happening everywhere around me. luckily it's just monocultue abandoned tree farms they are cutting so no real ecological loss (the soil is so polluted from former iron mining anyways)
if a collapse comes at least i can go and grab myself a nice fresh panel
40% of Japan's forest cover is monoculture.
Solar panels need to be replaced every couple decades 
Mountains are counter revolutionary and reactionary. They deserve whatever they get

I was trying to write a stupid joke about Stalker, the Zone, and golf but the website security cert expired and I forgot it.
Post-apocalyptic golf? That's already a videogame
Isn't that the Cursed to Golf goofy souls-like golf game from a few years ago?
I was thinking more along the lines of chipping a golf ball into a sandtrap to make sure there isn't an anomaly there.

I was thinking of some 2D game where the protagonist is a rich person coming from Mars to play golf in a devastated Earth (tbh it's pretty boring)
I'm almost certain this has happened at even larger scales in China as well. But they also have deserts which are suitable for solar thermal installations.
Every source of energy has an ecological footprint.
Funniest part about this is the name of that city means "Country Viewing Plateau".
Humans: fixing the view, one acre at a time.
Solar is environmentally destructive
Nuke gang? Since it's 2024 and not 1984, I think solar and wind might be the only sources of power our industrial civilization is able to build fast enough to decarbonize unfortunately.
Nah if we were serious we would build nukes and reduce consumption
One nuke plant generates as much power as 10 wind farms, 24/7. Renewables are also intermittent which means they cant displace combined cycle gas.
That's not to say there's no room for wind and solar in the grid, just that we couldn't reliably power the grid this way. It's much better than anything generating CO2, but we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking it's better than banning bitcoin. It does come at a cost
yeah solar and wind are better suited for smaller scale things like streetlights and whatnot
