Burning Tires For Heat -- Japan -- April 24, 2021

 

Now - I'll use biomass in the search



Ah - this says there's an increased interest in biomass after the Fukushima meltdown 


Now, an androgynous "pellet"


More Fukushima catalyst and wood pellet - interesting about ash/cement connection



But if the Japanese release CO2, it's a benefit to the planet ;>)


Now another acronym - FIT = Feed In Tarriff


That article points out how Japan is not energy independent.  duh...  Many years ago I read an interesting article about how Japan can not feed itself for more than 9 months.  There are quite high tariffs on importing foods because the Japanese have a very powerful farmers' union.  Anyway, that's all relatively obvious.  But, it led me to another article that was absolutely fascinating.  Someone documented how badly Japan had overrun its supply lines in WWII - and had a lot of military analysis showing how that was a major factor in their loss of the war.

Mark one rabbit hole off my list of IOU's - ha!
