Image In this report, the proportion of each energy source in total power generation in fiscal 2040 is set to be: ▽Renewable energy will be “about 40% to 50%,” ▽Thermal power will be “about 30% to 40%,” ▽Nuclear power will be “about 20%.” The plan drawn up three years ago called for the proportion of renewable energy to be between 36% and 38% by fiscal 2030, but the latest draft raises this even further, positioning renewable energy as the largest energy source for the first time. (Omitted) Solar and wind power generation ▽The amount of electricity they generate is affected by the weather, ▽and currently they have the problem of being more expensive than thermal power generation. When electricity generation from solar or wind power is insufficient, such as on rainy days or when there is no wind, it is necessary to supplement with other sources of electricity such as thermal power, which incurs costs. For these reasons, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry estimates that as of fiscal 2040, the cost of generating electricity from “commercial solar power,” including associated costs, could be as much as 36.9 yen per kilowatt-hour, more than twice as high as nuclear power. For details, see source 2024/12/17.
>>1 Renewable energy generation is unstable, so a backup power source is essential. And as long as carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming, using thermal power generation as a backup for renewable energy is upsetting, and as long as we promote renewable energy, we have no choice but to promote nuclear power as well.
>>4 It has to be flat. It would be better to leave it where they’re building a house now, but they’re building houses like crazy. You can put it there, right? Yes.
When we generate electricity, we generate a lot of greenhouse gases, but is that okay? But solar panels generate a lot of greenhouse gases during their production, don’t they? Isn’t it pointless unless we reduce emissions overall on a global scale? Is renewable energy even worthwhile?
Sorry, I just looked at my electricity bill and I was being charged a renewable energy surcharge, a fee I’ve never used. I asked someone who knows about it and they said it’s a donation from poor people to rich people, but is that true? They’re taking more than 10% of my electricity bill!
>>9 This is a fee that is added to the electricity bills of customers who have no connection to solar power so that electric power companies can purchase solar-generated electricity at a high price.
Solar power is at its limit because there is no more land available and it doesn’t last until the sun goes down anyway, so it’s unstable and a stable power source is necessary.
>>15 (including wives and others who have never been involved in fishing) A local fishermen’s group said, “We can’t catch any fish anymore, so pay us compensation.”
Nuclear power plants also have high post-processing costs forever, but if they are a 24-hour power source, you can charge your EV cheaply at night with late-night electricity.
>>18 The important thing about electricity isn’t the cost, but whether it can provide a stable power supply for a long time, baldy. If the amount of electricity generated fluctuates due to wind or sunlight, it’s no good, fatty.
Based on the latest estimated costs of generating electricity, nuclear power generation, including the costs of decommissioning and accidents, is now in the most expensive category, on par with offshore wind power.
>>20 Hydroelectric power generation costs half as much as solar power. The costs are also transparent, so it would be difficult for Koike Yuriko and Koizumi Junichiro. Naoto Kan would not be able to make a living.
The Fukushima nuclear plant was the first to not even consider the risk of a tsunami. The US considered hurricane risk to be the biggest risk, so they had emergency power generators underground. The biggest mistake was that they kept the older early models in place because it was difficult to build new nuclear plants due to the excessive noise from anti-nuclear groups.

If it’s a negative result overall, then that’s the answer.

But nuclear power plants are just hot water in the end lol. Are we really going to make it to the 22nd century with steam engines? Lol.
In the first place, carbon dioxide is emitted at every stage of the process, from manufacturing the panels in China to transporting them, installing them, and recycling them. The logic of not emitting carbon dioxide when generating electricity does not hold water.
>>37 It doesn’t matter if it’s wind or tides. It’s not that bureaucrats are unmotivated, but rather that they lack the mindset that if something doesn’t exist now, it doesn’t exist.
>>47 There is domestically produced iodine perovskite solar power. The cost is 8 yen per kWh. The bureaucrats still say it’s 30 yen and that nuclear power is cheap. This is a sickness.
