Japan’s Ongoing Harm in the U.S. Gulf [Op-Ed]
Japan is the primary backer of public and private U.S. LNG export facilities, which have caused significant harm to local fisheries. The shrimp industry, vital for Louisiana's sustenance and economy, has been severely impacted. Additionally, methane, a key constituent of LNG, is a potent greenhouse gas, 80 times more impactful than carbon dioxide. Leakage from these facilities and throughout the supply chain exacerbates the climate emergency. While the Biden administration's temporary halt on new LNG export authorisations is commendable, more decisive actions are required to address this issue effectively.

Japan’s Offshore Wind Revolution
Surrounded by windy oceans, Japan has tremendous offshore wind potential. For Japan to reach its 2040 offshore wind target, it would need 22,500 wind farms the size of Goto City’s. If the amendments in parliament are passed, Japanese wind manufacturers can export their technology to wind markets abroad. In that case, Japan will have no reason to continue its false solutions of ammonia co-firing and fossil fuel investments.
