With the population density in Japan, it seems like a place that more than most should concentrate on roof-top solar.
I'd expect wind has more potential there than solar anyways.

I like the last sentence the best on BeGreen's article!

rubbish, the last US Open was played on a course that was reclaimed from a strip mine quarry most of the property not part of the course was converted back to naturalized areas with indigenous plant life. of course they could have just left it a quarry.
haters just gotta hate
The course in Tacoma is an exemplary example of what could be done. It's a municipal project and probably the most environmentally designed course in the country. They went to great lengths to protect the environment and Puget Sound, including letting a lot the course brown out instead of watering during the summer drought.

They need more fish farms , as they have no problem fishing all the oceans species to extinction. They do have to eat even before they worry about golf or even turning the lights on.
