Court rejects suspension of Oi nuclear power plant

Government officials ignoring the valid concerns of the local people for the sake of kickbacks from a company. Who would've ever thought that it would happen in Japan?

Due to Trumps decisions there is going to be a world wide energy crisis. I suspect that Japan will place tariffs on American coal. Already the shutting down of an Canadian oilfield and the stopping of Libra crude has lead to higher crude prices. Trump stopping fuel from Iran will mean shortages. Something needs to be done including wind, place in trade wind zones.

No surprise here; the higher courts and Supreme Court basically always go along with government decisions, they are all part of the 'Establishment' here.

No surprise here. Also no surprise the government completely lied when it said it would NEVER restart NPPs without the complete support of the local residents.

Well, I forgot exactly what they promised by now. But if they literally said the same thing as you, no one should ever have taken it seriously, for the simple reason you can't get 100% of a large body of people to agree on anything.

We do need nuclear as effect of the overgoing to electric feeded systems like the complete transport sector with cars, busses, trucks, lorries etc. That means all systems that do have wheels and furthermore ship, aeroplane etc. Not planning possible production from renewable is a disaster. Cost much and do make hugh impact on the CO2 exhaust. Germany increased renewable with 100 percent and reduced CO2 with just 2 percent. What´s the meaning with that? High costs, high requirement of resources compared to nuclear.

Why not build Thoriumreactors which use Thorium with an annual growth in the oceans.

That is a renewable planning possible electric source.

Comment of Judge was like abandonment of independency from politics.

Japanese Judges who had stopped nuclear plants were demoted.

Judge who want to avoid to be demoted escape into delusion that investigation of Japan's nuclear regulation is always correct.

but,executives of Japan's nuclear regulation agency are occupied by beneficiary or related person of nuclear industries.

About natural disaster,

Japanese government and authorities always say "please prepare against worst case","unpredictable situation occur someday".

but,They never say same things about nuclear disaster.

Hideomi Kuze The nuclear disaster was generated by a Tsunami combined with an earth quake.

A water power station resulted in 10 000 killed but that is not frequently written.

The evacuation was an effect of the Tsunami that destroyed of lot of houses. British experts said the evacuation as effect of the radioactive wasn´t needed. Why put the costs for evacuation on the nuclear bill?

zichi I found this article from Financial Times dated 2018 that will give some overview according to the disaster.

zichi on google crome I search for "Financial times Fukushima disaster" and get the result above from March 2018.

Many Japanese Judges are still in "Safety Myth" of Nuclear Plants as before 2011.
