Japan to pull out of nuclear power by 2030

Bad decision imo.
Reduce the # of nuclear plants maybe, but don't eliminate all of them. Keep the best/newest reactors or upgrade them.

Oil and natural gas prices will probably rise worldwide, due to this.
On the good side, Japan could spur R&D of renewable energy sources, such as maybe tidal generators.
