 One of challenges Japan's govt is facing is how to get enough electric power to all those people. Up to March last year, part of answer was nuclear power. That was where nearly one third of Japan's energy came from. But that changed after the meltdown of one of the country's nuclear plants...examines the current state of Japan's energy situation.

 
This is a wakeup call, literally. At night time visited front door steps of Japan prime minister's residence. Protesters demanding from the top that world's third largest economy stay free of nuclear energy. Restarting nuclear reactors is same as starting a war, said a protester. It's the same as murder. 
 
That populous rage boiled more than a year after hokoshima nuclear plant disaster, with reactors still spilling lethal rediation. Tens of thousands of evacuates near the plant unable to return home. Hokoshima is worst case scenario unifying public fear of nuclear energy. Post hokoshima, reactors has come off line in Japan one by one. And when they tried to turn back on, politicians of nutility are facing true fight from community. Japan becomes first major developed economy to see modern era without any nuclear energy.
 
That maybe easier said than done. 30% of Japan's energy came from nuclear. So what's currently keeping the power on, keeping Japan's factory running? Increase imports of foreign fossil fuel is a huge cost of the economy. And govt and .. is already saying it wont be able to keep up the pace in summer when energy demands peak. A leading ruling party politician .. laid out the ..We must think ahead the impact on Japan's economy and people's lives if all nuclear reactors are stopped. Japan's prime minister has promised a clear energy policy some time this year perhaps this summer. Right in the middle of biggest test of energy any developed economy has ever seen. ..CNN Tokyo.
 
Japan's industralization has several options for ways to get energy. What about smaller countries where everyone doesnt have easy access to an outlet. Two inventors came up a way unique to generate energy we think might give a kick out it because that's what you have to put into it. A kick ..ball explains what this means.
