Since the disaster in the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the Japanese seem to have lost their confidence in nuclear power. Activists from the radiation-stricken area have decided to look for new sources of energy in other countries. The German village of Feldheim, which is a role-model for using renewable energies - has become a target destination for the Japanese delegation. The village relies totally on wind turbines for its energy. A nearby wind farm and a bio-fuel plant that burns the waste from local farms provide carbon-free energy for Feldheim's 145 residents. The Japanese delegations say they'll try to persuade their country's officials to revolutionize Japan's energy schemes once they return home.
