I am living in this chaotic Japan right now and something I would like to make a point about.
There is a huge energy crisis happening in Japan due to the recent earthquake and tsunami as most of you know, and since it affected nuclear plants pretty badly, most people and media discuss "nuclear, or not nuclear" now. However, I think that it is not the time to discuss whether what source we use to produce our electricity which runs our comfortable life, but to rethink our lifestyle which requires so much energy that we had to have such power plants. And this is not only a problem in Japan, but all over the world - look at what is happening in Japan? We have scheduled blackout and people are conserving energy as much as possible, but we still work, live and laugh. We don't need so much energy to be alive. If every citizen of the world use a bit less energy and create the society with less energy needs, we don't even need the discussion of "nuclear, or not nuclear".
So I want all the people who is reading this to rethink your lifestyle before blaming nuclear, energy supplier, or government. It's not the matter of "what to replace nuclear plants," but "what to replace our lifestyle."
