摘要
像日本这样一个能源供应结构脆弱的国家,节约能源是减少能源抑制的一种极为有效的手段。节约能源对减轻环境负担的重要性也通过全球范围的温室效应问题得到证实。为此,应提倡鼓励长期节约能源的观点。
This article reviews developments in Japanese energy conservation since the 1970s. The industrial sector has achieved the greatest success,due to industrial restructuring as well as improvements in energy efficiency. In the residential/commercial sector.the efficiency of appliances has been much improved.Although improvements have been made in the fuel efficiency of passenger cars, energy consumption in the transportation sector has risen slightly owing to increased transport of passengers and freight.
