Japan has literally few resources to produce power. They import lots of LNG (liquefied natural gas) and burn that to produce power. The rest of the power is nuclear and coal fired power plants, http://millennialliving.com/content/will-nuclear-power-get-thrown-under-bus-because-japan

Millennial Living Washington DC

Every society and government has a different risk profile. The nuclear disaster in Japan is making people rethink those risks. I think that you also have to wake up and decide on what power technology you want to allow to grow as well. In the US we by default have selected natural gas and despite all of the hoopla about renewables we are still fighting projects. See http://millennialliving.com/content/will-nuclear-power-get-thrown-under-bus-because-japan and other posts on renewables. Cheers
