This essay argues that anti-nuclear activism driven by performative justice has wasted national wealth, while ignoring the only effective way to reduce earthquake casualties in Japan: seismic reinforcement of aging structures.

Recently, I have encountered, one after another, events that have convinced me of the fact that true evil is found in those who brandish a sense of justice.
I have repeatedly stated that the foolishness of opposing nuclear power is not merely foolishness, but the result of being manipulated by the governments of China and South Korea, as well as the CIA.
I have also addressed the reasons why Fukushima became “Fukushima,” and readers know that I was the first in Japan to point out the major responsibility borne by the prime minister at the time.
I have written about the fact that the complete shutdown of nuclear power plants thereafter was carried out by people such as Naoto Kan, Masayoshi Son, and Mizuho Fukushima.
After the Kumamoto earthquake, I was watching the television captions.
They reported, as was only natural, the undeniable fact that there had been absolutely no abnormalities at nuclear power plants in Kyushu.
That is only to be expected, since nuclear power plants are structures designed not to collapse even if a fighter jet were to crash into them.
In other words, among all the structures built by humankind, nuclear power plants are the most robust, without equal.
It is no exaggeration to say that nothing else is built to such a degree of strength.
Following that, news reported that power had been lost at thermal power plants in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions.
Thermal power plants cannot even be compared to nuclear power plants in terms of robustness.
Not a single person in Japan has died as a result of a nuclear power plant accident.
The overwhelming majority of people who die in major earthquakes are those who lived in buildings constructed before the 1983 seismic standards, an undeniable fact that has been repeated time and again.
Instead of dismantling the safest structures on earth — nuclear power plants — under the guise of superficial justice, without realizing they are being manipulated by China and South Korea,
and instead of spending enormous sums on decommissioning costs, that is, squandering vast national wealth,
those funds should be used to reinforce aging wooden houses and cheaply built steel-frame buildings constructed before 1983.
Or rather than harassing specific nuclear power plants with claims about geological layers,
national wealth should be used to relocate homes built atop active fault lines or backed by steep cliffs to safer locations.
Why?
Because that alone is the only way to reduce earthquake-related deaths in Japan, a country prone to earthquakes.
