Japan thinks of population relief three dimensionally.
To relive the burgeoning stress of Tokyo -- one of the world's most overstuffed cities -- Japan is looking to build the planet's first offshore city in a 3,000-foot pyramid right in the middle of Tokyo Bay.

A massive energy storage system that can guarantee uninterrupted power delivery.
Meaning: clean electricity all the time, even when the winds aren’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining.
And now there’s a battery unit being produced in Japan that claims it can provide just that.
They’re called sodium-sulfur systems. And they offer a way to store power from the sun and wind, and then dispatch it to the grid when demand is greatest.
