Dear Owaki san and everyone,
Japan and the world should use sustainable energies as much as possible, as soon as possible.

Japan has been greatly adding Solar Power since 2014.
Japan should also greatly add Wind Power http://jwpa.jp/jwpa/vision.html
Geothermal Energy Ocean Energy
Corporations in Japan and the Japan Government have been promoting Hydrogen Fuel.
The question is: How much Hydrogen Fuel will be used by 2020, 2030, 2050
?
Hydrogen Fuel would be good if and only if it contributes to significant percentage of the world's energy.
The world has more than 1.3 billion vehicles.
Hydrogen used by 130 million vehicles would be 10% of the world's transportation fuel.
Hydrogen should be obtained from Wind Power or Solar Power electrolysis
to be clean.
Hydrogen Fuel needs to solve Safety, Cost, Distribution concerns.
Nuclear Power has 5 fundamental challenges:Safety, Waste, Weapons, Cost,
Sustainability
Nuclear Power needs fundamental changes.
