Conflict of interest between government and “onsen” owner, and lack of comprehensive policy regarding geothermal development, are some of the problems faced in developing geothermal as an alternative energy sources. Public stances did not change, even after the government introduce geothermal potency as energy source through Sunshine Project. A quite similar problems was faced by New Zealand’s government in developing their geothermal energy. The rejection came from the native people of New Zealand, Maori.
