Japan's PM Seeks Public Support For Nuclear Energy
From NY Times
In a blunt appeal on national television, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda asked for his nation’s support on Friday in restarting one of Japan’s idled nuclear plants, saying the loss of energy could bring blackouts and economic chaos.
In the 10-minute speech, Mr. Noda took his case directly to the Japanese people, explaining why he wants to resume operation of at least some of Japan’s 50 commercial reactors, which have all been idled since last year’s nuclear accident in Fukushima.
