On
the top of a mountain of a Peak Washigamine highest with a Kibi-cho, a propeller
of wind-generated electricity to be first Kinki local government has gone.
(51.6m high, rating output 230kWh)There is this wind-generated electricity system at the position that looks good from elementary school and junior high school in the town. Children ask a teacher "what is this?" The teacher whom was not able to answer is coming in study to a government office and takes a student and has come to a study by observation. Chief Oka of a project department said that "we hope to want to build a symbol tower on a top of a Peak Washigamine in a Kibi-cho amenity-rich town idea , and it was decided that it installed it by approach from the Kinki international trade and industry office when we began a new energy vision at the same time." As a symbol tower that is effective, and, to a cosmos park with wind-generated electricity, more than 1,000 have visited it on a holiday. I went at once to a Peak Washigamine with students of the sixth grade Fujinami elementary school, too.(TV Wakayama joins in collection of data at this day, too). I watched it near and realized the size.
When
children studied environmental issue with a comprehensive learning and had
examined the noise of a Kibi-cho, the water of a river, a dirt of air, they
seem to have been interested in wind-generated electricity. Mr. Matsutani
has thought that "wants children to develop energy conservation consciousness
through environmental issue and learning of clean energy." I felt that it
is reliable that the children who understood importance of "the resources
which was limited, and there was" had grown up.As for the new energy, there are profit and an issue of a cost. But it will be useful very much in inhabitants and environment of children, energy conservation education if the place that rooted in an area has equipment.
