Japan should put more eggs in the renewable basket

Japan's decision to restart its largest nuclear power plant aims to address energy insecurity and economic stagnation, providing reliable electricity. However, the country must accelerate renewable energy expansion to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels. The strategic energy plan for 2040 targets a mix of 50% renewables and 20% nuclear. While next-generation technologies like perovskite solar cells and nuclear fusion are in development, they are not yet commercially viable. Financial challenges persist for nuclear energy, with costs expected to remain high. Japan must not fall behind in renewables while pursuing long-term energy resilience.
