Japan to ease regs for sustainable energy

Japan may move toward easing regulations as a way to promote sustainable energy sources such as wind power and fuel cells.

A government panel subcommittee on regulatory reform has compiled an interim report calling for the easing of 53 sets of regulations. The purpose is to secure a stable power supply and to encourage the use of energy that is both produced and consumed locally.

The committee members also wish to promote eco-friendly automobiles and a low-carbon society.
