Today's topic is ''Power saving circumstances of Japan''.
All Japanese consider it now.
People in the world know what happened in Japan March 11th 2011, and the Fukushima nuclear power plant problem occurs due to the huge earthquake and the critical situation still continues in Japan.
As for the problem of the radioactivity, foreign countries might be severely reported then people think ''Japan is not safety now'' ....How can you see ''Japan'' from your country now?
All Japanese people want to know that what is going on the Fukushima nuclear power plant about all,but on the other hand,Japanese News TV doesn't report about the problem of the radioactivity twenty-four hours a day because only the image and the nuclear power plant of the tsunami are reported on the television, then some people who received mental damage happened frequently.
However living people under the standard of radioactive area is not big changed by this happened.
As for the change in Hamamatsu especially, the Hamaoka nuclear plant has stopped.
After the earthquake, all power generations were stopped though the Hamaoka nuclear power plant(the upper of photo) had supplied a lot of electric powers to Hamamatsu and Nagoya, etc.
The government have decided to stop the Hamaoka nuclear plant first because that area is near the epicenter of the Tokai earthquake forecast that it will be generated in the near future.
well, my house in Hamamatsu where I live is in 40km range from this Hamaoka nuclear power plant.
Thus, it becomes impossible for Japan to rely on the power plant of nuclear power plant and the electricity shortage becomes a problem.
When it will be hotter in the summer then the power consumption such as air conditioners increases and consumption exceeds the quantity supplied of the electric power, there will be suddenly a possibility of becoming a power failure.
A large panic will occurs when suddenly becoming a power failure in the big city in Tokyo etc.
So the government warning people and all companies to do ''Save electricity''.
as for the all auto manufacturer in Japan have decided to have regular holidays shift to Thursday and Friday in July to September.
It is a strategy that moves the peak of power consumption.
There are not only the car industry but also a lot of people who be changed holiday, then there is some problems;some parents want to open day nursery on the weekend(Saturday and Sunday) and some children can't go out with parents because they are different day off etc.
But we don't say complain to that happen because such an inconvenience is not more so serious compared with the person who lost many due to the earthquake.
Working of air-conditioning is worse than before even if going to the supermarket and the department store, and the lighting is also darker. and there is seen many posters which ''we are saving electricity now'' at the everywhere.
People saying that enough in the brightness of this level when becoming accustomed.
and we have noticed that the it was too bright before 3.11 and the electric power had been uselessly consumed.
However, it can't take things so easy when comes in middle of the summer season.
It is only 14 to operate among 54 nuclear plants in Japan at August.
And, the electric power tended to be insufficient at the summer time even in case of not being, it will be forced to change in various scenes in August this year.
after Japanese people would overcome this happen, we could get more strong spirits I think.
