TIL: Japan’s geothermal energy potential is HUGE (3rd highest globally), but harnessing it is blocked by outdated Onsen Association heads.
Japan doesn’t have many natural resources, and living on a huge crack in tectonic plates has its costs, but it _could_ pay off in terms of cheap electricity for everyone in the country. Sadly, old attitudes prevent this from happening.
