Japan announces £100bn green revolution
The Japanese government is to spend 15 trillion yen (£100bn, or as I prefer to write it to really let it sink in, £102,000,000,000) on an economic stimulus package focused on green technologies such as electric cars, solar panels and energy saving building materials, according to an article
on the Guardian website.
The announcement is further proof that leading economies are turning towards investment in green technologies to address the economic crisis. Interestingly, it seems that the Japanese government hopes that green collar jobs will help to fill the void caused by massive decline in exports.
