Anuj WankhedeThe Rainbow Warriors 10 hrs · In a few days (September 15th), Japan celebrates an entire year without a single commercial nuclear reactor operating. Its a powerful symbolic moment and a concrete demonstration that nuclear power, and its inherent risks, is unnecessary for the third largest global economy, with a population of 130 million people. The Abe government is desperate to prevent people from grasping that the worlds third largest nuclear reactor program has failed to generate any electricity for 12 months. In that year, there have been no blackouts or brownouts, the trains still run, the lights still turn on, and smart phones are still charged. This is a major body blow to the nuclear industry both in Japan and globally. Its a lesson the nuclear industry and its government backers would prefer that the public did not learn.
