Energy problem - energy problem

Japanese: エネルギー問題 - エネルギーもんだい(英語表記)energy problem
Energy problem - energy problem
Since there is a very strong correlation between economic activity and energy consumption, energy policy is closely linked to economic and industrial policy. In the 1960s, Japan implemented a policy of oil-dominant coal-subordinated, which led to high economic growth. Energy issues are also closely related to global environmental issues, and the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide and fluorocarbons in particular is serious, calling for an international response. In 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was signed by 155 countries in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With next-generation energy sources such as nuclear fusion expected to be completed in the 22nd century or later, transitional energy systems are also being explored. In any case, the construction of a "highly efficient, low environmental impact energy system" will be an important point in the 21st century.

経済活動とエネルギー消費の間には非常に深い相関関係があるため,エネルギー政策は経済,産業政策と深い結びつきをもっている。日本は 1960年代,油主炭従政策を断行して高度経済成長を迎えた。また,エネルギー問題は地球環境問題とも密接なかかわりをもつが,特に二酸化炭素,フロンなどによる温室効果は深刻であり,国際的な対応が求められている。 1992年,ブラジルのリオデジャネイロで「気候変動枠組条約」が 155ヵ国によって署名された。核融合などの次世代エネルギーの完成が 22世紀以降と予測されるなかで,それまでの過度的エネルギーシステムも模索されている。いずれにせよ 21世紀は「高能率,低環境負荷エネルギーシステム」の構築が重要なポイントとなるであろう。
