Prime Minister Kan also requested, and got, the closure of what has long been considered Japan's most dangerous reactor - the Hamaoka nuclear power station. Some reports suggest the Americans pressured this decision, fearing radiation risk to nearby bases at Yokota, Yokosuka, Atsugi and Zama.

Like the American nuclear power plants at San Onfre and Diablo Canyon in California, this Hamaoka nuclear plant is right on an Earth quake fault zone, on the ocean with not enough tsunami defenses, and way too close to heavily populated areas. As far as I know, this is the first time in human history an operating nuclear power plant was closed down, because it was insanely dangerous to keep it open.

One down, over 400 left to go.

Even more amazing, and hopeful for our future, if it's not too late, Naoto Kan also announced Japan will build sustainable energy instead of more nuclear. The new Japan may be powered by the sun, the wind, and geothermal energy.

All this is really important news, a possible break-through turning point for all of us, if we can get our own governments to listen. To act, BEFORE another Fukushima. Perhaps Japan can help lead us all out of the twin addictions - to fossil fuels and nuclear power. An example to the world. Let it be.
