#2 Get a grip, Nippon, we all knew that even iff you did shut down the NucPower industry it wouldn't last long, becuz domestic reserves + imports taint enuff to stausfy national requirements.

#7 Maybe we aren't giving Japanese pols enough credit here. The public was demanding that the nukes be shut down. Now the public has learned what that means. Pretty soon they'll be demanding that the nukes be restarted. Viola, democracy!

It did sound terribly profound, dear g(r)omgoru. Well done. ;-)

#11 It gets even worse. N and S Japan have different generating systems, one 50 hz ant the other 60 hz, so they are incompatable with each other for intertie or redirecting power. No nukes means more shortages and negative economic impact.
