The following is from an editorial in today’s Sankei Shimbun.
This article proves that the Sankei Shimbun is the most decent newspaper today.
This article proves that I have hit the nail on the head in every chapter written on Germany.
It is no exaggeration to say that Germany is, in a word, a nation of hypocrisy (pseudo-moralism).
China and South Korea, the land of “abysmal evil” and “spurious lies,” are totalitarian states that continue to practice Nazism in the name of anti-Japanese education.
Abysmal evil and spurious lies exploit hypocrisy and thrive as their host.
The United Nations itself is an organization made up of hypocrisy.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything they issue under the guise of recommendations is hypocrisy.
It is no exaggeration to say that all U.N. recommendations are hypocritical.
The U.N. has not made any recommendations on the extreme air pollution in China.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current genocide against the Uighur people, more brutal and inhumane than the Nazi regime, has not made any recommendations.
The U.N. has not issued any recommendations on investigating the source of COVID-19.
The people who have placed the U.N. above Japan are academics, so-called human rights lawyers, cultural figures, and so-called citizens’ groups, whose brains are made up of the Asahi Shimbun and their editorials.
Therefore, they used Germany thoroughly, and they willingly used Germany.
As a result, the unbelievable reality that half of the German people have an anti-Japanese ideology has been created.
It is no exaggeration to say that Japan, which the Asahi Shimbun ruled until August 2014, was also a nation of hypocrisy (pseudo-moralism).
That’s why the Asahi Shimbun and the brains that make up its editorial staff, the academics and so-called cultural figures, have been saying that Japan should learn from Germany with a straight face.
The turntable of civilization is divine providence.
The United Nations, the people, mentioned above, China, and the Korean peninsula are against God’s providence.
They are the ones who are creating the dangerous and unstable world we live in today.

Diversification of Power Sources Protects National Interests, Showing Vulnerability of Dependence on Renewable Energy
In response to the tense situation in Ukraine, the Japanese government, at the request of the U.S., has decided to provide some of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) that Japan had secured to European countries that receive natural gas supplies from Russia.
As the weather in Japan has become colder, there are concerns that the supply and demand for LNG will become tighter than last year.
The public and private sectors must manage supply and demand to ensure domestic demand can be met even when LNG is supplied to Europe.
There is growing concern that Russia, which is gathering troops on the border of Ukraine, will invade Ukraine.
The U.S. has warned Russia that it will impose firm sanctions if Ukraine invades.
Although diplomatic efforts by France and other countries are in full swing, the future of the crisis remains unpredictable.
Taking all possible measures to manage domestic supply and demand
If sanctions against Russia are imposed, there is a risk that Russia will suspend natural gas supplies to Europe as a countermeasure.
The volume of supply to Europe is already decreasing. In response, U.S. President Joe Biden has called on Japan and other countries to provide LNG to Europe.
In March, METI Minister Koichi Hagiuda announced a plan to supply several hundred thousand metric tons of LNG to Europe through a Japanese company.
Japan, too, is concerned about the tight supply and demand of LNG, and although it is difficult to provide a large amount of LNG, it would like to help the plight of Europe, which shares the values of freedom and democracy much as possible.
On the other hand, questions remain about Europe’s stance on energy security.
Europe, which aims to lead the world in decarbonization, is rushing to expand renewable energy, especially Germany.
Germany has expanded renewable energy sources such as wind power to nearly half of its total power supply. The amount of power generated by renewable energy sources, which rely on nature, fluctuates greatly depending on the weather.
Therefore, gas-fired power generation is necessary as a regulating power source, and most of the fuel is natural gas produced in Russia.
Russian natural gas accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the natural gas consumed in Europe and 60 percent in Germany.
In this context, it is also questionable that Germany plans to build a new gas pipeline with Russia to increase its procurement of Russian natural gas further.
This dangerous dependence on supplies from Russia will only shake up the stable procurement of energy.
Germany shut down three of its six nuclear power plants at the end of last year and plans to shut down the remaining three by this year.
It is all well and good to promote the expansion of renewable energy and the elimination of nuclear power. Still, it would be a disservice to the country if it undermines its energy security by increasing its dependence on natural gas from Russia and asking for support from its allies and friends.
The European Commission of the European Union has recognized nuclear power and natural gas as sustainable energy sources for decarbonization.
Germany is opposed to this and is prepared to file a lawsuit. 
It runs counter to Germany’s policy of phasing out nuclear power, but the government is responsible for the stable energy supply.
The government’s responsibility is to ensure a stable energy supply, and irresponsible actions that could shake the energy supply of all of Europe are unacceptable.
Germany’s stance is disappointing.
U.S. newspapers harshly criticized Germany, calling it a “self-defeating energy loser.”
It is no wonder that there are growing doubts in the U.S. Congress as to whether Germany is really a reliable ally.
Shouldn’t Germany rethink its radical energy policy? 
Decarbonization is impossible without a stable supply of electricity and gas to protect people’s livelihoods and industry.
Japan, a country with small natural resources, must also face the world’s harsh reality and work to diversify its power supply mix.
It will help strengthen the energy security of Japan and the West as a whole.
The energy crisis that Germany has fallen into is not a problem of the shore.
LNG-fired power plants are used in Japan as the primary power source, while nuclear power plants are not restarted. 
However, 8% of LNG imports come from Russia. 
As Russia is a country that influences the supply of LNG to push its political agenda, we must continue to diversify our import sources.
Suppose we expand the use of renewable energy sources to decarbonize our economy. In that case, the amount of power we generate will fluctuate significantly due to weather, and we will need power sources to adjust for this.
A certain amount of thermal power, such as LNG and coal, will be essential.
Unlike Europe, Japan does not have power grids and pipelines connecting horizontally and vertically with neighboring countries.
We need to reaffirm that securing various power sources, including nuclear power plants whose safety has been confirmed, will establish energy security.
