Fukushima & Japan Wiggling Nuclear Reactors Update 3/25/15
Business Leaders Says 20% Nuclear Power Needed Mar. 25, 2015
A group
of business leaders in Japan is proposing that nuclear power supply at
least 20 percent of the country's energy needs by 2030.
The nuclear accident at Fukushima four years ago has prompted Japan to reconsider how it produces electricity.
Government
officials, politicians and business leaders, as well as academics and
civic groups, are working on the problem. They are trying to figure out
what mix of energy sources could meet the country's needs.
Officials
with the Japan Association of Corporate Executives say nuclear power
will be needed as a base-load energy source for some time to come.
They
say it's unlikely that renewable resources such as wind and solar power
will supply more than 30 percent of energy needs by 2030.
They say Japan will probably have to rely on nuclear power for 20 percent or more of its energy needs.
Before the 2011 accident, nuclear power supplied 28 percent.
All of Japan's nuclear power plants are currently off line.
