変わらない対処療法。

 新型コロナ禍は感染者数史上最高。感染者数1万人へ向けて着実に拡大している、と予想する。

拡大予防対策は変わらず、見事なエンドオブパイプ(対処療法)に終始している。為政者は感染者拡大予防にまたぞろ「自粛対策」に乗り出そうとしている。

なぜ消費者・生活者エゴの多くが由来する「人間の驕り」を見直すこともなく、感染防止だの経済再建だの言っている！今こそ赤信号みんなで渡れば怖くないって同調主義を改めて、個々の自律したライフスタイルが求められているのでは？

「中央道の耐震補強工事」について

 TV観ていたら「中央道耐震補強工事」下請け工事会社の内部告発について特集していた。

普通だったら、法施度では元請け、一次下請けは企業責任で説明するところダンマリ…。二次下請けが発注元・行政へ告発してやっと明るみに。TVは二次下請けを守るための特集だった。特集についてはそれなりに評価して観ていたが、ただ国土交通省には何ひとつ触れなかった…。

国交省と言えば、公明党の指定席…。政府が自公である限り国交省大臣の席・癒着モンダイは変わらない。ここにメス入れてこその特集なのだ。

What are the potential of geothermal energy as a geothermal power generation business?

Currently, Japan has 111 active volcanoes in Japan. The lack of fossil fuels (coal, oil, etc.) is the same as in the past. Import more than 80% of energy resources. As a small energy resource country, it is a well-known fact that Japan has used military force before and during the war in search of energy resources overseas. The government formulated the Basic Energy Plan in 2011 and has formulated policies to raise the rate of receiving pure domestic renewable energy such as solar, wind and geothermal power generation. The Energy White Paper released in June 2020 contains 2.347 million kilowatts of geothermal resources in Japan, the third largest in the world. (By the way, U.S. 1st place, Indonesia 2nd place)

However, Japan's geothermal power plant capacity is 540,000 kilowatts, which is the 10th largest in the world. While having a rich amount of resources, the capacity of power generation facilities is extremely small. Recently, the capacity of power generation facilities has been removed in the Philippines, Kenya, New Zealand, etc., which have few resources. I don't know why.

In order to realize a high power generation capacity, it is only to lower the power generation capacity. In other words, if the power generator is in Japan, it is too expensive. Renewable energy using local resources is one of the projects related to regional economic revitalization projects, whether it is geothermal or biomass. In addition to fuel generation, there are not a few cases where power generation is required. Aling it is a matter of course, even in the gasification and energy business of manure discharged by pig farmers in a certain area, the maximum neck has a bitter experience that was frustrated because the price of power generation equipment is high.

I have experience.

It is possible to make a business plan easily until it becomes fuel, but when power generation is required, it is always on the rocks. In a word, the power generator does not go to the power generation at a high unit price. That's why renewable energy, especially biomass-related businesses, is not widespread in many places.

Most of the power generation equipment used in geothermal power generation overseas is made in Japan, but it is not used in Japan. High-priced neglect of power generation equipment manufacturers, nuclear power plants, fossil fuels, etc.

It seem that the energy policy of this country is involved. Based on equipment utilization, solar power is 13%, on-land wind is 20%, offshore wind is 30%, and geothermal power generation is more than 80%.

海と陸は生態系で繋がっている。2020.11.01

●かって汚泥と泥昆布で誰も見向きもしなかった襟裳の海も豊かな海として見事に再生している。ポイントは陸と海が循環・リンクしていることだ。「陸が荒れると、海も荒れる」この襟裳では陸での植林・緑化だった。自然生態系は深く繋がっているのだ。

今や、美味しいおでん等高級食材として誰も認める昆布の産地に。

環境保全に、人間の知力と経験等が如何なく発揮された良い事例だ。今も爺ちやんらの意思を継いだ孫の三代目らが事業継続中だ。

環境破壊は数カ月、しかし再生・維持には100年以上かかってしまうのだ。

フォークソング(森進一・吉田拓郎)で歌われた…。

エリモの春は、何もない春です…。この歌が流行っている時代、襟裳の漁民は砂漠に近い地域で黙々と植林していた。
