今回のお題は、海底凧による再生可能エネルギーについて。
写真で見ると凧(kite)というより、
小さな飛行機(plane)だが。
記事はこちら。
I couldn't imagine the kite moving below the surface of the ocean.
Then I researched the site of Minesto.
There is a movie in the site.
そこで、chat boxに下のサイトのURLをペーストしてみた。
Here you are.

It is beautiful isn't it?
でも、これ船の往来が盛んな所では難しいね。
と講師が言っていた。
特に日本は駄目でしょう。
日本は相変わらず
Japan mainly gets its power by thermal power generation using fossil fuel.
それどころか、
On the contrary, our government is building new thermal power generation using coals.
Coals aren't good for environment.
The measure turnes back the clock.
そもそも海に囲まれた日本なのに、
Offshore wind power generation がそんなに無いのが不思議である。
There are many planned sites, but few are actually in operation.
何故なのか?
One of the barriers to the start of construction is the problem of fishery rights.
Fishermen are supporters of the ruling party, so the government does not seem to despise fishery rights .
