USA Africa Dialogue Series - Japanese Energy Policy After March 11, 2011

The Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011, followed by the reactor damage at Fukushima, have shaken the core of Japanese energy policy.
Japan is dependent on imports of virtually all fossil fuels. In reaction to the oil disruptions of the 1970s, Japanese energy policy has focused on efficiency, diversity, and development of indigenous energy sources. Because virtually all fossil fuels must be imported, nuclear power had offered an indigenous option that became a cornerstone of Japan's energy policy.
