decrease in carbon emissions, which will slow down the increased impact of climate change for future years. Not only, are alternative energy sources clean, they are also, practically unlimited sources of energy, unlike fossil fuels which will eventually, in the long run, be completely depleted from the Earth. Furthermore, the introduction of additional sources of energy can create jobs for the citizens of the country and can potentially boost the future economy. 

How Wind Farms Work: 

Essentially Wind Farms operate on the basis of transferring energy from one source to another. Where the wind(air) turns the propellers on the wind turbine which is connected to shaft that rotates a generator to generate electricity. The reason they are so tall is because higher altitudes inherently have higher wind speeds, which allow for more energy to be generated. However the problem is, these towering wind turbines take up a lot of land space. This land could have been used for other purposes such as livestock//solar etc but instead are taken up by wind farms, which might not be the most profitable use of the land. Furthermore, there is an issue of the wind turbines affecting the local wildlife such as interfering with birds or bats. 

Real World Applications: 

A popular application of energy are wind farms(a multitude of wind turbines), but there is a growing trend in Japan to use Floating wind warms to achieve the goal of cleaner energy. Recently, a bill/law(Renewable Sea Area Utilization Law)was passed by the government that promoted more offshore wind facilities as land space in Japan has become more sparse. This new law allows for longer term exclusive use of areas in the sea that could be used as wind farms, by designating them as promotion areas and also require companies looking develop wind farms to bid on these designated wind farm areas in an auction. The first of these auctions happened this year where the winner will be announced in December,2020.  An important aspect about this is that there is a required energy threshold the develop must produce, in this case it is "A capacity of no less than 16.8MW" and "36 JPY per KWH" Lastly, it's quite clear that the Japanese government is pushing a public-private partnership as the government works with private companies to achieve the separate and united goals of profiteering and decreasing carbon emissions. 

Japan, much like many other countries in the world is beginning to search for alternative sources of energy. As such, the primary reason behind the law was to supplement the push to increase the percentage of renewable energy sources from 17% to 24% by 2030. It's important that these governments are continuing the transition from fossil fuels to more renewable sources of energy such as Offshore Wind Farms.
