First, let's understand how Ozone is being produced. The short UV rays from the Sun interact with Oxygen in the air, producing Ozone, these UV rays are consumed in the process. So, while there is Oxygen in the air, there will be a protection from the short UV rays and Ozone will be produced as a consequence (Oxygen protects from UV, Ozone is just a byproduct and, it will either oxidize something cleaning the air, or will revert back to Oxygen after some time to repeat the cycle).

Good! Japan needs the LNG until we get the Nuclear plants on line.
Japan will need LNG and after restarting the Nuclear plants.
As for the Nuclear plants: they are not free as Japan doesn't have Uranium to produce fuel for them, Japan probably buys nuclear fuel from US, and US currently buys Uranium from Russia, so Japan will pay double price to run Nuclear plants as well.

Turn all the nukes back on.
I'm afraid there might be not enough nuclear fuel in Japan as current generation of Japanese nuclear stations require U235 and Japan is buying it from US, while US is buying it from Russia.

Modern coal plants are pretty clean: 99.2% of dust is filtered, so they only emit CO2 which is transformed into the oxygen and food by oceans, swamps and forests. They are also extremely energy efficient. And no complex facilities are required to store coal, just place it under the roof, making it the most catastrophe-resistant power source. There are many highly developed countries among the biggest coal consumers e.g. UAE and Israel.

CVC are ultraglobalist banksters same as Blackrock, they will eventually destroy Toshiba's real production. Japan should prohibit this acquisition if it wants to remain industrial country.

Nuclear energy can be very green (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast-neutron_reactor) and it produces a lot more and a lot cheaper energy than solar/wind.
Japan should relaunch all of it's nuclear stations and gradually upgrade them with safer reactors if it want's to continue it's industrial and economic growth.

Posted in: Japan reports 1,021 new cases of coronavirus on Sunday; 260 in Tokyo See in context
for the 260 people in Tokyo here's the PCR/Antigen Test
> Positive rate
> 5.9 %
> Number of tested people
> 3,379.0 persons
> https://stopcovid19.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/en/
> Even though 260/3379 is 7.7% but whatevers.
PCR tests are not precise and have false positive rate of more than 6%. I doubt they retested positives 2 more times on different days before reporting these numbers.

PCR tests have at least 6-9% of false positives, meaning you just need to test 6000 people to get these figures.
