That's true.

But it wasn't my point.

I think countries like Sweden, Norway and New Zealand have a chance to sustain their levels of consumption indefinitely. All these countries are similar in geographic size to Japan but have really low populations comparitively and Scandinavians at least are investing a lot of time and money into green technology.

Norway and New Zealand are under 5 million. Sweden is under 10 million.
