Japan Leader Urges End to Nuclear Power Policy
Keywords:
Prime Minister Naoto Kan says Japan needs to reverse its policy on nuclear power and gradually phase out nuclear power. He told a televised news conference: " We should aim to have a society that does not rely on nuclear power. In the future, we should have a society that can carry on without nuclear reactors." Nuclear energy provides about 30% of Japan's energy supply. Saying that the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster has changed his thinking about nuclear power, he added: "I have come to realize that this is a technology that cannot be controlled by previous safety measures."

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
