Japan and nuclear power generation

This article focuses on the explosive increase in electricity demand due to the rapid spread of AI technology. In particular, he pointed out that data centers that support AI consume electricity comparable to cities with tens of thousands of people, and emphasized that a stable power supply is not possible to maintain Japan's international competitiveness. The current situation of a large difference in electricity prices depending on the operation status of nuclear power plants in eastern and western Japan, and this difference in electricity costs affects the location strategy of the industry, and the power supply system, including the restart of nuclear power generation, is a radical basis for Japan's economic growth. It is argued that a "decision" is necessary.

There are great advantages to restarting nuclear power generation, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is inevitable. I think it should be restarted unless a power generation method to replace nuclear power generation is developed. I think it would be better if we could proceed with research to reduce damage caused by earthquakes, etc., and to be able to generate electricity more safely.
