The Japanese Prime Minister has voiced strong opposition regarding the uncontrolled proliferation of solar power plants, often referred to as "Mega-solar" in the local vernacular. This has sparked nationwide discussions on the governance surrounding renewable energies. While the specifics of this protest remain unclear, it's evident that the Prime Minister's disapproval aims at reshaping the energy landscape to better align with the government's environmental and infrastructural objectives.

Japan's severe energy security issues post-Fukushima have led to a rapid expansion of renewable energy, particularly solar power, across the country. The Prime Minister's unexpected opposition reflects concerns about losing the balance of power generation, efficient control over the grid, as well as proper land use. Japanese citizens remain wary of nuclear power but are aware that an undisciplined approach to renewable energy may be detrimental in the long run.

In the US and EU, renewable energy development is often promoted but still subject to strict regulations and planning. These countries balance this development with grid stability and other energy generation methods in mind. The issue at hand in Japan shows a more pressing need for regulation to keep the energy transition under control.
