It’s not just the Europe and the United States struggling with energy shortages and costs, but Western ally Japan too. As colder temperatures continue to set in on the island nation, the governor of Tokyo – one of the largest cities in the world – urged residents to wear turtlenecks to stay warm this winter and minimize energy expenses.

How can you lower energy bills by keeping your neck warm?
The answer to the question was given by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, who urged people to wear turtlenecks or scarfs to reduce the need to turn the heating on this winter.
Ms. Koike said wearing turtleneck jumpers could help people save on energy bills.
The Governor of Tokyo told reporters:
Warming the neck has a thermal effect. I am wearing a turtleneck myself and wearing a scarf also keeps you warm. This will save electricity.
This is one of the tools to get through the harsh winter energy climate together.
Officials will be told to lead by example by wearing the jumper.
She said people should be inspired by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who was “taking a lead in wearing turtlenecks”.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Japan, just like the West, is also on the verge of imminent collapse and ruin economically – beyond the total breakdown of society they have already had: spiritually, morally, physically, mentally, etc. Love ’em or hate ’em, a turtleneck is clearly not the answer here.
Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
Lamentations 5:5
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

a home is supposed to be a place of comfort, get yourself a wood stove and a axe or 2 for chopping down trees, and get a hand saw or two to saw the logs. heating problem solved.
Great idea, Cary. Now I just need someone to teach me how to chop wood and also how to use a wood stove and prevent fires from happening.
Please understand me, I’m a city boy, but I sure wish I could learn how to hunt, fish, plant, and live in a cottage.
like I said contact Amish or country folks, they will be glad to teach you, be prepared it is very hard work! and it is very satisfying to eat what you hunt, fish and grow, and it is very healthy.
The Japanese Government had put a cap on how much energy companies can increase their rates until last month. This month, we’ll all be paying about 50% more. Japan was a bit behind other countries, but now it is starting to catch up.
I have a propane heater for my mobile home, but that’ll only get me through one winter. As an alternative, I do have a…well…my great grandfather built it as tornado shelter but it’s not built in a good way or area for tornado safety, being very close to a 12 foot gully and surrounded by trees. Even so, it could be modified into a small one room cabin with very little effort, some solar for lightweight energy uses such as lighting and mp3-charging, and installing a small wood stove wouldn’t be all too difficult if I could find a way to cut a small circle in the roof. If we have an economic collapse, it could be useful as a fall-back plan, being highly durable as a building and much easier to heat.
