Somewhat make sense... (Score 1)

Uranium deposit will last 150+ yrs. and Japan produces only 1percent of oil of which they consume. i don't know how much Japan is relying on Nuclear power but in South Korea(i am from here) , we rely 40% of our power source from nuclear power b/c Korea produces no oil and every drop of oil in korea is imported(South Korea is 3rd largest oil importer in the world and Japan being the first)

I assume that nuclear power is very important in Japan, too. There is Toshiba heavy industries and there are different branches under its brand name(or something like GM? someone tell me) so it may not be toshiba electronics that most of you are thinking of.

Korea is currently on the lead of developing artificial sun(nuclear fission generator using tokamak) and it is now 87% complete! it will use sea water as a power source and 1 liter of sea water will generate power equal to 100Liters of oil. for further research, google: KSTAR.
