Although Japan is a major consumer of petroleum, it depends almost completely on imports from abroad and thus is easily affected by external conditions concerning petroleum. To reduce this import dependency, Japan is engaged in a long-term program to improve and strengthen its vulnerable position. The program includes the use of underground crude oil storage facilities, construction of which is now in progress. Referringtoexamples of the underground storage in Europe and America, the technology for these facilities is being developed into a system suited to the natural and social conditions of Japan on the basis of the results of construction and operation of a test plant. This paper reports on the present state of underground oil storage technology in Japan.

The advantages of superconducting cables for large-scale, Iong~distance power transmission have been widely recognised. However, there is a need for much costly research into the scientific and engineering problems before superconducting cables can be incorporated in the power network. This paper ou
This study begins by asking whether fluctuations in the price of crude oil have affected employment in the United States. After reviewing previous assessments of the issue, the existence of an empirical relationship between unemployment and crude oil price volatility is established using Granger cau
