Japanese energy reality - geopoliticsAbjectly dependent on hydrocarbon / fossil fuel
imports for transport & electricity
• WWII: oil major factor in loss– US 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
