Japan
announced
a
new
energy
and
environment
strategy
last
month,
which
aims
to
phase
out
nuclear
power
completely
by
2040.
The
nation
also
foresees
renewable
energy
making
up
30%
of
its
energy
supply
by
the
2030s.
However
Tanaka,
now
a
global
associate
for
energy
security
and
sustainability
at
the
Institute
of
Energy
Economics
in
Japan,
says:
“I
am
very
sceptical
about
the
feasibility
of
this
plan.”
A
low-nuclear
scenario
will
be
“a
huge
cost
and
loss
of
energy
security”
for
Japan,
he
tells
the
Asia
Future
Energy
Forum
in
Singapore.
Nuclear
is
likely…
