Reflection:
I wanted to share this news because influence of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant still continues in Japan.

In the Hokkaido Electric Power jurisdiction where the supply and demand gets into full swing in winter, the issue of vital supply and demand of inhabitants worsens. One and a half years has passed from Tokyo Electric Fukushima nuclear plant accident. Meanwhile, the Japanese Government cannot solve the issue of no electricity.I cannot trust the government because they do not keep security of the life of the people at all.

The Governor Harumi Takahashi of Hokkaido said, "the winter power saving in the way was right a problem of the life". And he demanded the early development of the supply and demand prospect from Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Yukio Edano on October 12. There is not yet the answer from the government.

The heating apparatus ingredient using the recent oil and gas uses the electricity. There are many things which do not operate without electricity. Therefore the sense of impending crisis of local people will be strong.Japanese government gives priority to ensuring safety, and it is unavoidable that  Japanese government becomes careful about re-operation of the nuclear power generation. But they leave the securing of power supply to the electric power company in the electric power company. I feel that it is too irresponsible.
