Tokyo' s New Mayor

Tokyo has a new mayor, Yoichi Masuzoe. He had the backing of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Liberal Democratic Party. An important difference between him and his main contenders was also that he is in favour of restarting the Japanese nuclear power plants, that has been idle since the 2011 tsunami and nuclear faliure at Fukushima. He has the same view as the PM and cabinet in this issue. I guess restarting the nuclear power plants can be a good idea. Lessons have been learned since 2011, it is unlikely any such accident may happen again. It is also good to counter the use of fossil fuel such as oil and natual gas. We will see what happens.
