Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses.
My first question is to Mr. Sadamori. Clearly one of the most interesting developments—and it's a rather recent development—has been the move of the United States from energy dependency to a potential of energy self-sufficiency, with possibly even the potential to energy export.
Up until now the public policy has been to provide heavy subsidies to green technologies. In light of these developments, do you anticipate that the move to green technologies will actually be under pressure or be diminished, or that the subsidies will be removed?
