Winds of energy independence . Japan Times, 9 Nov 13,  Despite Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s continued push to sell nuclear technology abroad and restart nuclear power plants at home, the Ministry of the Environment together with several leading companies and universities has been quietly developing Japan’s capacity for wind power.  The first deep-water offshore wind turbine started generating power last month off the Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, and another floating turbine off the coast of Fukushima is set to start operations later this month. Each turbine has an output of 2,000 kilowatts. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/11/09/editorials/winds-of-energy-independence/#.Un-yUqVRGf0
