Unfortunately, as a country that fully embraces capitalism and consumerism, Japan has no choice but to rely on nuclear energy, unless it harnesses the power of Pokemon.
@Waterfall714 Yea the way forward for a few decades. Fossil fuels can't last forever.lol. Better to work on altering dependencies now instead of waiting untill the absolute end where it hurts countries with a ridiculous supply and demand aspect.
Well in response to the question in the video I think the very noticeable lack of pepper spray/tear gas stands out to what protest in my country usually have.
Looks like any other protest probably anywhere. Except for the abundance of people wearing surgical masks..I guess in New York they do the same thing.
In my opinion everyone (really everyone!) just needs to communicate, be reasonable and not building political or financial walls. Just naming Kyoto Protocol. Capitalism can also be a tool, not only a seeming curse that sees sustainability and international caring as sticking points or even worse. I'm sure there is a solution for Japan towards obtaining power without relying on nuclear sources but that might also be a way that requires political opening towards east asia and perhaps the world.
I'm not really familiar with Japan's capacity of power sources and how they are devided. But I know that Europe is fully capable of obtaining energy from renewable sources in the midterm and with a backup of gas and oil in the short term. Nuclear power is not needed in Europe! Energy is a tradable resource which could also help countries that struggle with the financial crisis as future energy producers.
The world has 500 nuclear power plants., Europe has 200. What are you talking about obtaining energy from renewable sources and backup of gas and oil?
@blasko0 I didn't say that every nuclear power plant should be turned off by tomorrow. Preparations are inevitable! E.g. equipping the energy grids with appropriate high-voltage lines to carry energy over long distances as a basic requirement. Then there is the big task of establishing a network of powersources that take advantages of local circumstances. Scandinavia has the features of landscape that are predestined for hydro plants and wind turbines.
@blasko0 So are the North Sea and near Atlantic (offshore parks). Russia has still much oil and gas. On the European mainland (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium..) many wind turbines are already installed. The more far you go south, the more efficient is solar power. Think about bigger solar parks in Spain, Portugal and other states surrounding the Mediterranean, also northern Africa. The technology is more and more efficient.
@blasko0 Together with smaller, locally favorable facilities these will provide Europe with enough power so that nuclear power is not needed. But don't asl me if and when this will eber be possible ;)
Example, to supply European industry with electricity you must cover all Germany with solar panels and for wind turbines you need more space (something like that is not possible, not in Europe). I do not like wind and solar power because is much expensive. But like you say the technology is more and more efficient. Look for the bigest wind turbines farm in Europe that is located in Ireland (that is very optimistic).
Believe it or not but experts at my university say that China could take a leading role in the play 'With capitalism towards better future!'. Most common people I hear talking on the train/ bus are pessimistic and suspect China of being the straw to break the camel's back with its upcoming hunger for luxury goods ("if every Chinese got a car.. blablah") But on the opposite China could use its enormous industrial potential to evolve towards the main provider of environmentally valuable processes.
There's nothing wrong with nuclear power. It's completely "safe" when you follow SAFETY REGULATIONS! Which Japan did not when they built Fukushima and a lot of their other generating stations. For being on an island that receives earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons frequently, they neglected to think about building their generating stations to withstand them! So don't protest nuclear power, protest the lack of nuclear safety in Japan!
In my country--U.S.A.--the people would look & sound much angrier, because we have been frustrated on this issue for decades, and the other side has never had any good reason for insisting on nuclear power, nor good answers to the objections to it. Also, Che Guevara would not be there.
Thank you for the video, nothing wrong with a peaceful protest. Now what we need is one of those protester to come up with a viable fix to nuclear power.
Journalist Tomohiko Suzuki did a Foriegn Press Conference (with English translations) after he went undercover as a plant worker in Fukushima. Its a great expose of what's really going on inside. Its on YT and worth watching. I for one had no idea Hitachi and Toshiba were so involved in the repairs though I guessed about the Yakuza involvement.
Nah, nothing is going on on this side of the ocean, we're just living our lives, chewing on sea food from the Pacific, picking occasional piece of rubbish with some Japanese writings off the beaches, listening to the NRC and the EPA telling us there's nothing to worry about, building new reactors. THanks for asking tho
In America there would be police involved. For a city the size of Tokyo,I think there would be more people show up than in this video, if it was in say,New York. the protest could turn more violent here, depending on many circumstances. I think this protest seems more polite. In our large cities,we would also have people giving speeches about the dangers of nukes. Again,it depends on who organizes the protest,how big the city,and the behavior of both police and protesters.Thank you.
Also, nuclear power is great, but when you're in a country that has frequent earthquakes and tsunamis, it's not as great. It's like juggling with hand grenades... perfectly safe until one of those pins falls out...
in my country, it looks pretty much like this, except with a bunch of cops pepper spraying people for no reason and/or trying to get a riot started so they have an excuse to shut it down.
In the USA, over 50% of electricity is generated by burning coal. In fact uranium is MUCH more plentiful in the earth than most people imagine, though generally it is not concentrated. If you burn 1 million tons of coal, then 1 **TON** of uranium is released into the atmosphere and for MANY years that has been the PRIMARY cause of lung cancer (not tobacco).
As long as u don't built an atomic power plant in an earthquake zone, this does not happen with nuclear power --at all. And no carbon.
There were no Japanese protesters with visibly dirty clothes and poor manners --something that is politically smart. I'm pro-nuclear but if I did an anti-nuclear protest, I would want people JUST LIKE THIS.
It is not always a protesters job to offer solutions, especially on a matter such as this. They are just making apparent their stance on the issue as the people of that particular country, which is what the government is supposed to be reflecting and working by. They just want to make clear their priorities so their government can work towards a solution and reflect more accurately the voice of its people.
I don't care what country it's in, if you're going to protest have viable intellegent alternatives to what you're protesting. Otherwise, it's not a protest it's just a random street dance party with bad music that has repetitive lyrics.
The NUCLEAR ENERGY is unnecessary and SERVES ONLY TO POLLUTE! If all the money you spend on the maintenance of nuclear energy is spent on the alternative energies at this time we can have ultra-modern solar panels and even better ... has been amply demonstrated that nuclear power is used only to pollute and endanger the population ... so now Japanese people HAVE TO protest en masse! Fukushima disaster did not teach anything?
Doesn't look different at all. In Switzerland rallys like this are legal as long as you have the oke to do it and you don't destroy something or so...
I think it's wonderfull that people want to change something in Japan!
In my eyes japan doesn't need nuclear power at all! There's so much wather and thermal engergy to use!
Until ebloom can release a full functioning electricity generator, we're reliant on nuclear energy for power. For those that don't know what ebloom is, you should look it up, a very interesting alternative generator that could possibly be the future of electricity.
What do the people of Japan want to provide their source of power then? Japan doesn't have significant coal, oil or gas reserves. Renewable energy sources cannot provide enough for one of the worlds largest users of electricity. So what do the Japanese want? Currently with technology there is no golden solution that pleases everyone. Each solution will have its drawbacks. Nuclear seems the most logical for the country at the moment.
@Naijarianman Indeed, it's short sighted. Japan has to import massive amounts of natural resources to sustain its way of life. Wikipedia states that Japan's electric production, in 2008, consisted of 69.7% fossil fuel and 22.5% nuclear power. Fossil fuel isn't exactly a clean source either, maybe they should protest against that as well ... Scrap fossil fuels and nuclear power and it's back to Edo-jidai standard of living ...
@Naijarianman There will never be a solution to the energy-problem my friend, unless people understand that they must use electricity wisely. There are a lot of simple steps you can do every day, so as to consume less electricity. But it's exactly this mentality many people can't so easily adopt. Therefore, however many technological advances will be made, it WONT make any difference at all. It's going simply to urge people to spend a bigger amount of energy than before! ;(
@aimmaster18 Very true! Its the natural progression of technology. And the next form will most likely be fusion power as the next step. Sadly I can't foresee where our demands / wants for anything will end.
@Waterfall714 I wrote this quite a while ago. You're forgetting some important things. Accessing oil and coal is significantly more expensive for the country since they are importing. Than having their own source of power. Secondly their is the political disadvantage of having an unhealthy decripit dependcy on other countries for coal and oil supplies. Furthermore it would scupper their carbon reduction targets (Kyoto treaty).
@Naijarianman we have to import 100% of uranium resouces from other countries even if we choose nuclear energy. more importantly, nuclear energy is completely outdated today. in fact most of power plant were built in 60s, so we'll have to scrap them anyway. and most of nuclear engineering departments are abolished in universities, because nobody wants to study it anymore. to the contrary, fossil fuel power is becoming more efficient, less CO2 emission.
At the 1:51 the inscription (こどもをまもれ、おとながまもれ kodomo wo mamore otona ga mamore) it means Protect your children and keep adults. I do not know if I wrote good because I'm Italian
We should all say No to nuclear power, its not safe and its been proven time and time again. In Sweden you can choose not to use nuclear power. I did, my energy dosent come from nuclear power.
@helenniachan I think people are overreacting. It's understandable if you're in the affected area, but the main problem was that they built a reactor in an earthquake zone. If I were Japanese I'd protest nuclear plants too.
But in Europe it's silly. Coal plants poison the air as a matter of daily routine, not just when accidents happen. Yes I'd love to see only wind and solar power being used but that's a project that would take decades and billions of euros.
@megamarsvin I dont think its overreacting at all. This crisis is far from over, if you just dig a bit more you will find alot more dirt then you see in normal media. And over all nuclear is not good for anything. Coal is really bad aswell. You got water power,solar and wind power. In Sweden most the energi comes from water power. Of all the nuclear plants we got only 2 are in use. The others got some sort of problems and cant be used properly. That itself says alot about how dangerous it is.
Hm this rally wasn't really different from my country, except maybe more people in my country and they march through the streets and then gather later, not sure if these people marched through the streets before too.
@AndreR241 This is like the smallest and the less louder protest I've seen in Tokyo. Usually much longer line people walk through the city. This one, I must have missed the other parts.
It all looks so organized and tidy compared to the chaos of an American protest (Or it may just be the group in question.) In America, protests generally attract all kinds of weirdos. (At least the ones I've been to)
Nice, I wonder if they will have this on our news (Germany) because so far Japanese people have been portrayed as forever accepting what the government does.
Das bezweifle ich. Ich hab soetwas im Internet in irgendwelchen Kommentaren gelesen, aber so ein schwachsinn wurde weder im Fernsehen noch in den Zeitungen geschrieben. Vielleicht in irgendwechen Boulevardzeitungen, aber ich bezweifel selbst das...
@CubeCubesen hast du in den nachrichten irgendwelche proteste gegen das atomprogramm gesehen außer jetzt dieses video? Ich jedenfalls nicht. Oder überhaupt über Demonstrationen in Japan habe ich noch nie was gehört, jedenfalls nicht in unseren Nachrichten.
Proteste kannst du nun wirklich nicht als Indikator für die Unzufriedenheit bzw. Hörigkeit der Bevölkerung nehmen. Und wie viele Proteste werden denn so aus Amerika und Europa gezeigt? Auch nur wenige bis gar keine.
@CubeCubesen ist es überhaupt nicht, z.b. wenn jemand was erlebt hat und ich beneide die person, sag ich auf englisch: "i hate you lol" - auf deutsch würde ich das nie sagen, da es zu starke worte wären, so einfach ist das. Worte können eben immer leicht missverstanden werden.

Nice, I wonder if they will have this on our news (Germany) because so far Japanese people have been portrayed as forever accepting what the government does.

Das bezweifle ich. Ich hab soetwas im Internet in irgendwelchen Kommentaren gelesen, aber so ein schwachsinn wurde weder im Fernsehen noch in den Zeitungen geschrieben. Vielleicht in irgendwechen Boulevardzeitungen, aber ich bezweifel selbst das...

@CubeCubesen hast du in den nachrichten irgendwelche proteste gegen das atomprogramm gesehen außer jetzt dieses video? Ich jedenfalls nicht. Oder überhaupt über Demonstrationen in Japan habe ich noch nie was gehört, jedenfalls nicht in unseren Nachrichten.

Proteste kannst du nun wirklich nicht als Indikator für die Unzufriedenheit bzw. Hörigkeit der Bevölkerung nehmen. Und wie viele Proteste werden denn so aus Amerika und Europa gezeigt? Auch nur wenige bis gar keine.

@CubeCubesen außerdem glaube ich, dass du meinen englischen kommentar viel zu wörtlich genommen hast... auf Deutsch würde ich das nie so sagen.

Wenn du das auf deutsch so nicht sagen würdest, warum dann auf english? Das ist ja irgendwie unsinnig.

@CubeCubesen ist es überhaupt nicht, z.b. wenn jemand was erlebt hat und ich beneide die person, sag ich auf englisch: "i hate you lol" - auf deutsch würde ich das nie sagen, da es zu starke worte wären, so einfach ist das. Worte können eben immer leicht missverstanden werden.

Im deutschen sagt man in so einer Situation auch scherzhaft "ich hasse dich dafür".
