It's a Japanese journal and they have charts of the last twenty years on prices there and projections ahead. The West is drooling over the private savings pool. They did accurately predict ten years ago that the West would start an immigration binge in order to boost flagging demand for goods and for government services. They also predicted that totalitarian or corrupt governments would freely provide the bodies to lessen dissent. Mexico, a prime example. The Japanese government is looking into trying to liberalize immigration in order to get cheaper labor and just as important to boost consumer demand.

I suspect much of the energy problems we're experiencing today can be traced to this artificial population boom. Just add 2-3 million people a year from countries where per capita energy use is low and move them here, and the result is obvious.
