What are the challenges Japan’s government is facing is how to get enough electric power to all those people.After till March of last year, part of the answer was nuclear power. That's where nearly 1/3 of Japan's energy came from, but that changed after a meltdown of one of the country's nuclear power plants. Qing Lo examined the current state of Japan's energy situation.
This is a wake up call, literally, at night time visited the front door step of Japan Prime Minister's residence. Protesters demanding from the top that the world’s third largest economy stay free of nuclear energy. Restarting the nuclear reactors is the same as starting a war, says a protester, it's the same as murder. That populous rage boiling more than a year after the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster with reactors still spewing lethal radiation.

Tens of thousands of evacuees near the plant unable to return home. Fukushima is a worst case scenario, unifying public fear of nuclear energy. Post Fukushima reactors have come off line in Japan one by one. And when they’ve tried to turn their back on, politicians and utilities are facing true fight from the community. Japan becomes the first major developed economy to see the modern era without any nuclear energy. That maybe easier said than done,30% of Japan's energy came from nuclear, so what's currently keeping the power on was keeping Japanese factories running. Increase imports of foreign fossil fuel. That is a huge cost of this economy and the government and corporate Japan is already saying that won't be able to keep up the pace in Summer when energy demands peak. A leading ruling party politician bloodily led out the reprecutions.
We must think ahead to the impact on Japan's economy and people's lives if all nuclear reactors are stopped, says Ushito Singoku Japan’s Prime Minister has promised a clear energy policy sometime this year perhaps this summer,right in the middle of the biggest test of energy any developed economy has ever seen. Qing Lo, CNN Tokyo.Japan is an industrialized nation and has several options available for ways to get energy.
