Here I am, in my Japanese company office alone on Friday night. My job is to research renewable energy and LNG for a big Japanese LNG company. Which should be the most exciting place to be in the world right now.

Damn. On a Friday night, you should be renewing human energy as the Japanese often do on the last weekday.
