Japan’s Nuclear Dilemma

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda cautioned on Friday
that Japan could not afford to keep its nuclear reactors offline. “Cheap and stable
electricity is vital. If all the reactors that previously provided 30% of
Japan’s electricity supply are halted, or kept idle, Japanese society cannot
survive
,” Noda said in a televised address.

During the 10-minute speech, Prime Minister Noda emphasized
the national security concerns of relying more on imported energy to compensate
for the decline of domestic power generated from its nuclear reactors. Noda
said that, “Japan
needed nuclear power to avoid relying too heavily on oil and natural
gas from the politically volatile Middle East
,” The New York Times reported.

Since last year’s Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident, Japan
has burned about
135.5 percent more oil
, the International Energy Agency reports. The
increased oil consumption has likely contributed to a greater dependence on Middle East
petroleum – although imports may also be coming from Southeast Asia neighbors,
like Brunei.
