shadow_of_kalak on December 21, 2025 10:42 pm Nuclear power is not as good as renewables like solar or wind, but it isn’t coal or gas. I would take it over those two anyday.
Victory-IV on December 21, 2025 10:46 pm Nuclear power is safe, and im tired of people saying otherwise
TheJpow on December 21, 2025 10:46 pm I was not expecting logical decisions from a conservative government. Good for them
pixel8knuckle on December 21, 2025 11:30 pm I think nuclear is great unless you live near a reactor on an island that gets hit by tsunamis and earthquakes.
JazzlikeDrummer1227 on December 21, 2025 11:58 pm Japan has little choice. Given its heavy dependence on imported energy, nuclear power can help reduce the pressure of rising energy costs.
PenBest9590 on December 22, 2025 12:26 am Can’t really blame them for that. Japan doesn’t have that many resources to use as energy, so it seems like nuclear energy is the way. Although I would like for Japan to build a bigger seawall this time, pretty sure the last one was too short.
Great-Ad-4416 on December 22, 2025 12:43 am Right after the two massive earthquake hit this year. What could go wrong
raerae1991 on December 22, 2025 12:53 am Wow, I remember this, I didn’t realize it had been 15 years!
Dizzy_Lengthiness_11 on December 22, 2025 12:58 am Good. Opening nuclear plants is gonna give Japan more energy security in case shit pops off
JelliedHam on December 22, 2025 1:07 am Access to seawater is great for for cooling. Access to major tsunamis… Not as great.

Damn. It has been 15 years since Fukushima? Now I feel old…

Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since Fukushima
