The ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan has motivated them to explore cleaner, safer forms of energy. The Mitsui Group has decided to invest in solar power plants that have the capacity to support 30,000 households. The project is expected to cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars.

The plan is still in the works, but this is a good sign for the energy of Japan’s future. Prime Minister Naoto Kan has promised to create an energy efficient society by increasing renewable energy to 20 percent by 2020. This is a step in the right direction for a country where nuclear power has been thriving. Other organizations taking initiative include The Green Power Certificate Program that aims at the greening of household energy.

Keep an eye out for these developing projects in Japan that will create new jobs and cleaner energy for the country.
