Japanese Government vs Japanese Citizens, is Nuclear Power worth it?

Everyone has heard about the Tsunami and Earthquake combo that devastated japan, especially after japan came close to having another nuclear disaster. Coming up for its mandatory 13 month inspection, Japans last nuclear reactor is set to shutdown permanently and leave Japan nuclear free for the first time since 1966. The government is stressing to the citizens that nuclear power is important and that there could be a power crisis this summer if the demand for fossil fuels rises too much. But since they require a local consensus for nuclear power decisions the local leaders aren't convinced that the agencies that oversee the nuclear power plants are up to the task of preventing another near-miss meltdown like the Fukushima Daiichi. Before the Fukushima accident, Japan operated 54 commercial reactors. which accounted for about one-third of the country’s energy supply. But in the last year, 17 of those reactors were either damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami or shut down because of government request. Thirty-six others were shuttered after inspections and have not been restarted. Japan’s cabinet said last year that the country needed a new nuclear safety agency that is “trusted both domestically and internationally,” and Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda had hoped to have the new agency in place by April 1. But politicians are still squabbling about how the new agency will operate, and the extent to which it will coordinate with the cabinet. Experts say it could be months before Japan creates the new watchdog.
