[SSJ: 7597] Re: Telling foreigners Japanese culture caused Fukushima

From: Greg Johnson

In support of my assertion that the government and KEPCO are guilty of obfuscation and dishonesty regarding the restart of the Fukui reactors, here is an article from the Chunichi shinbun indicating that there is enough capacity without the nuclear restart.

If the reason for the restart is that KEPCO can't make a profit from conventional power or that it would need to raise rates to keep paying for natural gas to an extent that would inconvenience Keidanren members, then that is the argument the government and KEPCO should have made. But the reason is not the one they provided us, a shortage of electricity.
