    France will "go nuclear" still: "We are going to devote a billion euros to the nuclear programme of the future, particularly fourth-generation technology," Mr Sarkozy told a news conference. "We are also going to release substantial resources from the big loan to strengthen research in the sphere of nuclear safety."

    It appears Japan is indeed going to go big on Solar power in replacing nuclear power.For starters Japanese trading house Mitsui plans to build large-scale solar power plants with the capacity to supply 30,000 households in the tsunami-hit northeast, a newspaper reported Wednesday.I believe as long as Japan can find room for large solar farms they will be on their way to installing large amounts of renewables as many others are doing.

    "...{Norwegian} Oil firm Statoil may export more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan as the its increased demand for fuel in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster pushes spot prices higher, a senior executive told a Norwegian daily. Gas prices in Asia are markedly higher than in Europe, making it more attractive to export there. ..." From: Sept 26 Reuters from Monday's Aftenposten, Oslo's main newspaper

    Billy T comment" If not this year, soon via the Arctic route - half or less the distance and lower loses from heating. Global warming is an economic benefit for Norwegian and Russian LNG exports to Asia (as well as Asia with lower cost energy).
