all of its rivers. No one benefits from this but the construction

Amazing story Jed. Thank you for sharing it. Would it be fair to say
that they are attempting to make a Japanese garden out of the country? I
thought that they had more of a reverence for the natural environment.
I remember back in the '70's it appeared that the Japanese model of
picking emerging technologies, and then making investments of public
money was going to kick our butts, but they are in worse shape then we
are. It appears that a good idea will get funded. If someone would
produce a LENR based technology what was commercially feasible, it would
get funded. The private capital, chaotic development model has proven
itself yet again.
