Noda Ends Japan Nuclear Freeze Crank 'em up or its going to be one hot summer.

In the meantime marketing C1000s for distributed energy to Japan's many small towns and factories still makes sense. Japan has a pretty robust natgas infrastructure in place already and both Osaka and Tobata (not far from Kobe) have LNG receiving terminals.

The nation’s biggest business lobby had warned power outages would lead to factory shutdowns at companies including Sharp Corp. and Panasonic Corp., threatening an economic recovery in the cities of Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe.

Companies including Komatsu Ltd. (6301) and NEC Corp. (6701) have said the nuclear restarts are needed to avert power shortages. Both Komatsu Chairman Masahiro Sakane and NEC Chairman Kaoru Yano have talked about moving their production overseas if there is insufficient power for their factories.
