I guess I would go with the record-setting heat and the Fukushima water release. Shaun McKenna 06:47Well, the Pacific Island nations aren't the only ones who voiced disappointment with the Fukushima water release. I'm guessing the Japanese government will continue to lean into nuclear energy in 2024. Mara Budgen 08:58Yeah, while the Fukushima water released may not be the source of radioactive pollution that's so many feared. Right now, nuclear energy accounts for less than 10% of Japan's energy, and the government plans to raise this to around 20% by 2030.
