Why? Because of russia, after CIA found that russia (and its allies) may go full craycray and is not ashamed to show that they have infiltrated US politics.
If an all out war pulled out and these nutbags decided to target nuclear plants, Then guess what? Nuclear waste is pain to clean, remember fukushima? They cost like 200B USD (probably corrupted, but whatever)
Take note, these countries returning to monke energy generation (also germany) are US “allies and bussiness partners” and relying on “western monetary system” i hope that make sense now
Russia has always had a bad beef with japan (1904 war) and germany(almost invaded in ww2), imagine being clapped before and some decades later, got paired with an “ultra nationalist” (facist, if you want me to be direct) leader/s and some of its constituents, then welcome to current russia.
The article doesn’t really do a great job of answering the titular question. So … Is the answer “mostly because of policy failure”? Because that is what opening two coal plants in 2024 sounds like to me.
I’m also a little confused how they managed to jump from “renewables are making power cheaper in Japan” in one paragraph to “this is hampered by G7 liking fossil gas” in the next paragraph. (I do share their worry about G7 nations investing in fossil gas too much. My home country Germany has just introduced a gas peaker plant strategy and appears to be over-investing in LNG terminals.)
