JAPAN HEADING FOR ENERGY DEATH SPIRAL?

Dear Colleagues & Friends:

I spent some time last week with former International Energy Agency Exec Director NOBUO TANAKA who has some grim views on the direction of Japan’s economy and energy situation.  I just wrote up my chat with Tanaka, who I consider to be Japan’s Daniel Yergin (without the books or the Pulitzer).

Hope you find this of interest.
