The recent dramatic change in energy supply in Japan has prompted a search for a new energy-environment-economic efficiency policy, in which a compromise has to be found between a sufficient supply of energy resources, the development of low carbon emission technology, and a continuation of...

This paper offers a quantitative contribution to energy-environment policy in Japan in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear power accident. Since then, nuclear power energy supply has almost entirely been banned .There is no clear-cut direction for energy policy, as each option involves costs...

Japan is faced with a gFukushimaf problem, meaning a nuclear accident leading to electrical power shortage. This problem relates to a non-balanced gEnergy-Environment-Economich policy which does not, but should incorporate gelectrical power savingh, glow carbon emissionh, and...
