It will likely be another hot summer in Japan (after all, the May we just had was the 2nd warmest globally ever), so the Japanese prime minister will probably let a couple of nuclear reactors get restarted to have enough power for air-conditioning. I imagine after the Japanese public gets moderately comfortable with this reality, a few more will get restarted too.
New PM set to order nuclear restart this weekend
"Yoshihiko Noda is expected to tell Kansai Electric Power (KEPCO) to re-fire two idled reactors at its Oi plant serving the industrial heartland of western Japan.
The controversial move comes amid fears that electricity demand will outstrip supply as temperatures soar and air-conditioners get cranked up, further crimping Japan's wobbly economic recovery."
