		<description><![CDATA[Panasonic is making a big move into the domestic solar panel business. Next month The Panasonic Group will launch in Japan its HIT(R) 215 Series* household solar power generation systems. Panasonic will be able to provide overall energy-saving systems for homes that will include rechargeable batteries, heating and air conditioning, security systems and Net-linking gadgets besides solar panels, which will all be hooked up to each other, he said. Homes will be able to save on utility costs by selling surplus power from solar power generation systems, and using water heaters at night when utility rates are cheaper, he said. &#8220;You will be living with virtually zero carbon-dioxide emissions through creating, saving, storing and managing energy,&#8221; Sakamoto said in Tokyo. It is  the first series of collaborative products to be developed since SANYO became a part of the Group. The launch signifies how the newly extended group has combined its collective strengths for a full-scale entry into the solar cell business. The new products combine SANYO&#8217;s solar power generation modules with Panasonic&#8217;s energy management technology, construction materials, and electrical technology, and will be broadly promoted across the companies&#8217; various sales routes, including home appliances, electrical and construction products. In doing so, the Panasonic Group and aims to establish a position as the top manufacturer in the market with a target share in Japan of at least 35% by 2012.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Japan should focus on developing geothermal energy, according to a prominent US environmentalist, who says that the volcanic island-nation could become the global leader in the field. Speaking on Wednesday Lester Brown, president of the US-based Earth Policy Institute, told a news conference. &#8220;Japan could make geothermal energy the centre of its new energy economy just as the US or China will make wind the centre of theirs,&#8221; &#8220;There are no leaders in the world today in this field. There is no industrial country in the world that now has a well established geothermal industry&#8221; Brown said at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan. Japan, located at the crossroads of four tectonic plates and on what is known as the &#8220;Pacific Ring of Fire&#8221; and dotted with volcanoes, is one of the world&#8217;s most quake-prone countries. If Japan can launch full development of geothermal energy technology, &#8220;it would not only lower carbon emissions in Japan, but it would also give Japanese industry the potential for playing a leading role in developing the world&#8217;s geothermal energy resources.&#8221; he said. Brown says demand for the technology will grow in other geothermal-rich countries located on tectonic faultlines such as Indonesia and the Philippines in Asia as well as Chile, Peru and Colombia in South America. &#8220;This is an opportunity for Japan to move to the centre stage in an area where it is richly endowed,&#8221; he added. Japan makes use of hot springs as a resource for tourism, but geothermal energy only accounts for 0.3 percent of its energy mix, and the country relies heavily on imports of oil and other resources. Japan is currently world’s fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases.]]></description>
