The Japanese goverment is trying to get their nukes back online but the
public aren't happy. I don't think they have much oil/coal generation but
do have gas and a recent Japanese delegation to Russia talked about gas
supplies...

Think they had a change of government and are sayng 'nukes on or 30%
inflation; your choice' or something.

Its pathetic. Fukushima was a mere minor ripple in a massive disaster
that that killed thousands and decimated huge tracts of land.

The problem is the Japs don't trust their politicians even more than we
don't ours.

And the politicos don't understand radiation themselves.

So they cant be convincing.
