Japan’s senior official at the Japanese Trade Ministry declared that Japan is planning to spend $1.72 billion (in U.S. Dollar amount) over the next 5 years to develop cars and fuel that will reduce the dreaded car emmissions. Apparently, the Japanese government will subsidize development of batteries, hydrogen and other technologies in an aim to get rid of 6% to 7% of emissions. The japanese have had emission problems for a very long time with this problem due to the fact that their geography is not conducive to urban spread. Japan is an island nation with a large part of its islands too rocky to build on and this is cause for cities becoming very jammed and traffic being extremely heavy.
