They really said that??? Unbelievable!
Actually, seriously, the Min. of Sci. & Education (or whatever they
call it in English) said something to the effect of: "we cannot
support this research because if it succeeds it would disrupt the
energy sector of the national economy." That's how I recall the quote
(which was in Japanese). It was related to me by someone who attended
the meeting. It was not in the news.
