No plan huh. Well, hopefully they will not make that mistake twice.

They already decided to throw the baby along with the bath water: to make sure that nuclear accidents don't happen again they are stopping (and likely closing) all nuclear power stations.

Japan is not particularly rich in energy, so this will have consequences. Europe made the same decision, and when Putin was in Germany recently he assured Europe that there is plenty of energy available in Russia. He didn't mention the price, though. That would come later ;-)

This happens as clockwork in all wealthy nations. Unwilling to suffer any risk whatsoever, citizens go NIMBY. We see it now in all First World countries. They refuse to manufacture anything, protecting their gentle environment and fragile psyche of their people. People who want to work (be it in Sweden or the USA) are often seen as enemies, good only for confiscation of their wealth (that they don't deserve, of course.)
