Maybe nuclear engineers should move to Japan

I should have expected this, but yet I'm still somewhat surprised by it. Japan's post-Fukushima nuclear aversion is fading given the difficulty of ramping up renewables. 

Japan's growth in renewable energy dims as nuclear strives for comeback

"The regional utility's decision to limit its purchases of solar power cannot be assigned to grid capacity alone. The decision was taken in large part due to Hokkaido Electric's expectations that all three idled reactors at its Tomari nuclear power plant will eventually go back online. Power demand in Hokkaido at its minimum is just 3 gigawatts. The three Tomari reactors have a combined power generation capacity of 2.07 gigawatts, leaving a difference of roughly 1 gigawatt if they are returned to service. But if utilities revert to relying on nuclear power to levels before the Fukushima disaster, that could leave very little room for the emerging renewable energy industries to grow."

 Plus, the article also notes that Japan is aggressively marketing the building of nuclear plants overseas, including even in Britain.  So Japan is not out of the nuclear energy sector, by a long shot.
