In the LDP presidential election, policy debates were held online to answer questions from the people for four consecutive days, and on the 24th, opinions were exchanged on energy policy and other issues.
"Renewable energy is also energy for local production for local consumption, and by actively expanding it, it will be possible to create employment in the region," said Kono, Minister of State for Regulatory Reform.
Former Political Research Chairman Kishida said, "We must think about energy, stable supply and price, with the big goal of carbon neutrality in 2050 in mind."
Former Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takaichi said, "We must firmly write in the basic energy plan how to make up for the weakness of stable power supply and renewable energy."
Acting Secretary-General Noda said, "When switching to new energy, we must consider mitigating drastic changes such as employment security. We would like to support those who are working on alternative energy."
When asked if he would visit Yasukuni Shrine when he became Prime Minister, Mr. Kono said, "I will not be in office as Prime Minister," and Mr. Kishida said, "I would like to consider worshiping after considering the timing and circumstances." Mr. Takaichi said, "I will worship," and Mr. Noda said, "I worship as an individual, but I am not in the official position of prime minister or president."
In addition, all four welcomed and supported Taiwan's application for the TPP = Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement.
