Despite mounting resistance, Japan finds itself unable to abandon substantial solar power initiatives. Several mega solar projects, once seen as a boon, struggle due to economic viability concerns and environmental impacts. The future of such projects remains uncertain, with stakeholders continuing discussions about their sustainability and long-term impacts.

Japan is grappling with the challenges of shifting towards renewable energy. Much of the public is concerned about climate change and hopes for more sustainable energy solutions. But there's conflict over the environmental costs of renewable energy facilities themselves, including land use for large-scale solar plants.

In the US and EU, the situation is similar - renewable energy is a widely accepted goal, but the transformation of landscapes impacts local communities and raises complex questions around sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the rate of renewable energy adoption varies between states and countries, reflecting differing resources, regulations, and public attitudes.
