With oil prices falling by nearly 75% over the past five months, sustainable energy is becoming less competitive economically and projects are being delayed or shelved worldwide. Besides, Kuzumaki's energy infrastructure would be difficult if not impossible to duplicate elsewhere, especially on a large scale. Investment in the town's projects - paid for by local tax revenues, private investors and the prefectural and central governments - totals $50 million.
