EDITORIAL: Nuclear-free society can be achieved much earlier

From the Asahi Shimbun: In our editorial published in July last year, we laid out a vision of a society without nuclear power generation. In that editorial, we said it would probably be possible for Japan to phase out nuclear power generation in 20 to 30 years.

However, given the fact that peak demand in August last year was fulfilled with only 12 to 16 reactors online, it now seems that vision could be realized far earlier.
