Duh! Power shortages, the high yen and the high production costs make it a no brainier. Japan needs to float the yen and soon. Than and restart the other reactors.

How original. Geez, is there not one single mirror in Japan?

In other words, all the major Japanese export segments were down. Does not bode well for a sustained recovery.

Japan is in a bad place. Generally when countries are having problems (like the EU), they enact all kinds of laws to "support" domestic production at the expense of imports. Save local jobs and all that. It doesn't usually work, but that's what they do.
For people in Japan related to manufacturing/exports, this kind of thing is only going to get worse.
