With 2 reactors online and several thermal plants taken offline Japan is more than meeting it's current demand even though an exceptionally hot summer.

(Yes, I've been keeping an eye on the demand & availability numbers. Not just making stuff up in advance like others here.)

In fact if you took the 2 reactors offline they would still meet demand.

Now as the renewable energy industry actually gets a chance, rather than being squashed by the nuclear industry stranglehold on government the reactors are becoming clearly unnecessary long term.

Statements like many of the blog posts here are frankly ridiculous propaganda.
