Japan minister targets zero reliance on nuclear energy
Japan should aim for zero reliance on nuclear energy, Trade Minister Yukio Edano said, despite efforts by the government to restart reactors in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi incident. "I myself think it should be reduced as soon as possible. But as to in reality how quickly it can be reduced or whether it will ultimately be reduced to zero -- I want to judge based on discussion by experts," Edano said. Reuters
