“….Policymakers determined to maintain nuclear energy believed most people would still want it as part of the nation’s power generation despite theaccident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.

 

Their calculations were way off.

In a new type of government poll, 46.7 percent of respondents favored scrapping nuclear power generation by 2030 after hearing expert opinions and holding discussions among themselves, according to the results released on Aug. 22.

In fact, anti-nuclear sentiment has grown so large that it could force the government to adjust its plan for the nation’s long-term energy policy and will likely become a key issue in election campaigns…..”

And this speech and others like it probably helped..
