I should have made it clear that the Tokyo shinbun article to which I posted a link is not accusing Keidanren of impeding innovation in energy policy.

ml That's my sentiment. Keidanren members have long
benefited from electricity costs subsidized by taxpayers and household consumers (from whom power companies receive the greater percentage of their profits, if I understand correctly). I think it is natural that they should respond to a national emergency with creativity, innovation, foresight, rather than complaints and threats to move their jobs elsewhere. (By the way, how's China working out for them in that respect?)
