Japanese energy reality - geopoliticsSlide8
Japanese energy reality - geopoliticsAbjectly dependent on hydrocarbon / fossil fuel imports for transport & electricity
WWII: oil major factor in lossUS cut oil Pearl Harbor
US submarines
cut all south imports
Japan navy and air force unable to maneuver against US
Today:
Depends on US protection of markets and seaways
Will NOT end nuclear program
Temporary petroleum imports: Saudis & Russia vie Slide9Slide10Slide11Slide12Slide13Slide14Slide15Slide16Slide17Slide18
