JAPAN SEES SOLAR POWER BECOMING CHEAPEST２０３０年には太陽光発電が最安

Japan's government predicts solar power will be the cheapest source of electricity in under a decade – even cheaper than nuclear.
This would mainly be thanks to the falling prices of solar panels.
The forecast was announced by the industry ministry on Monday. It estimated the costs of power generation in 2030, assuming new plants will be built.
The ministry says the cost of solar power for businesses would be around eight to 11 yen per kilowatt-hour.
Nuclear power would be a bit more than that. Thermal power from liquefied natural gas would cost around 10 to 14 yen. Coal-fired power would be the most expensive, as high as 22 yen per kilowatt-hour.
An estimate done six years ago found nuclear power to be the cheapest, but growing safety costs have pushed prices up.
Ministry officials say different forms of power generation need to be maintained because electricity from solar fluctuates widely, depending on the weather.

徒然草 第百十一段

【原文】　　

「囲碁・双六好みて明かし暮らす人は、四重・五逆にもまされる悪事とぞ思ふ」と、或ひじりの申しし事、耳に止まりて、いみじく覚え侍り。 

【現代語訳】

「囲碁、双六を好み、朝から晩まで遊びほうけている人は、強姦、窃盗、殺人、詐欺といった犯罪や、親殺し、恩人殺し、背任、聖職者の傷害といった反逆よりも重い罪を犯している」という、ある聖人の言葉が今でも忘れられず、ありがたく思える。 

◆鎌倉末期の随筆。吉田兼好著。上下2巻，244段からなる。1317年(文保1)から1331年(元弘1)の間に成立したか。その間，幾つかのまとまった段が少しずつ執筆され，それが編集されて現在見るような形態になったと考えられる。それらを通じて一貫した筋はなく，連歌的ともいうべき配列方法がとられている。形式は《枕草子》を模倣しているが，内容は，作者の見聞談，感想，実用知識，有職の心得など多彩であり，仏教の厭世思想を根底にもち，人生論的色彩を濃くしている。
