After watching NHK’s watch9, the author argues that Japan’s total shutdown of nuclear power plants after 2011 and the resulting increase in fossil-fuel power generation may be linked to global warming, torrential rains, and the return of photochemical smog in Japan. Facing scenes like floods across western Japan, he calls for the immediate full restart of nuclear power plants.

It was because flood scenes of the kind that had been seen in tropical and subtropical regions were striking all across western Japan.
Watching NHK’s watch9 just now, I thought that I must once again send out to all of Japan the following chapter that I had published on July 7.
…I was stunned while watching the midday news.
It was because all of western Japan was being struck by torrential rain, almost as if it had just been hit by a tsunami.
It was because flood scenes of the kind that had been seen in tropical and subtropical regions were striking all across western Japan.
I even began to feel anger.
Since the Fukushima accident of March 11, 2011, Japan has completely shut down all of its nuclear power plants and, in just a few years, has burned 15 trillion yen’s worth of fossil fuels.
In addition, needless to say, the CO2 emissions of neighboring China are among the largest in the world, along with India’s; its air pollution is at an unprecedented level, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is not an environment in which people can live; the biggest reason is that it is a one-party dictatorship ruled by the Communist Party, but because I think of this air pollution, China is the one country I have absolutely no desire to visit.
There is no doubt that Japan must have been rapidly warming since 2011, after the total shutdown of nuclear power plants.
Considering the enormous amount of electricity generated by a single nuclear reactor, my inference must be correct.
As proof of that, photochemical smog is now occurring frequently in Japan for the first time in forty years.
Naturally, The Asahi Shimbun and the like never report this inconvenient truth at all!
The absolute opposition to nuclear power created by the aforementioned people, who may already be called the “three villains of the hidden fortress,” and by The Asahi Shimbun, is something that would make civilization regress…
In truth, it is the maneuvering for private greed by worthless people…
And it is also the opposition to restarting nuclear power plants that The Asahi Shimbun, which is not only a mass of pseudo-moralism but is also possessed by the disease called anti-Japan, continues to carry out.
To the Japanese people who have gone along with them and have advocated absolute opposition to nuclear power through unscientific pseudo-moralism.
If a great earthquake strikes, your house will vanish into thin air; if it is struck by collective torrential rain like this time, your house will be submerged or collapse.
But nuclear power plants alone will absolutely neither be submerged nor collapse.
Why?
Because they are the most solid buildings humanity has ever created.
What I thought when I saw today’s scenes, as if western Japan had been submerged, was this: immediate full restart of nuclear power plants!
Let us reduce fossil-fuel power generation all at once.
If we do so, surely the frequent torrential rains and tornadoes that have been striking Japan in recent years will surely subside.
