'..utilizing the theories of plasma behavior might be a more productive path.'

<blockquote>'Astronomers have infected physicists with the “hot gas” theory, causing a 50 year failed experiment with nuclear fusion. Squeezing hot gas into a volume small enough for fusion to take place has not worked and we predict that it will never work. The theory of star formation through fusion reactions is untenable so utilizing the theories of plasma behavior might be a more productive path.'

'Japan joins countries such as Germany and Switzerland in turning away from nuclear power..'

<blockquote>'Japan's government said it intends to stop using nuclear power by the 2030s, marking a major shift from policy goals set before last year's Fukushima disaster that sought to increase the share of atomic energy to more than half of electricity supply.

Japan joins countries such as Germany and Switzerland in turning away from nuclear power after last year's earthquake unleashed a tsunami that swamped the Fukushima Daiichi plant, causing the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986. Japan was the third-biggest user of atomic energy before the disaster.'

'..Japan on track to leapfrog Italy as the world's fourth-largest solar market by 2014..'

<blockquote>''Some Japanese firms have already made their move, including electronics giant Toshiba, which said it would build a huge solar plant on the country's disaster-struck northeastern coastline.

Rival Panasonic said it expected a boost in its solar-power system sales on the back of the new programme, which puts Japan on track to leapfrog Italy as the world's fourth-largest solar market by 2014, behind China, the United States and India, according to Nomura.

Mobile phone operator Softbank opened a plant in Kyoto at the weekend and has plans to build Japan's biggest solar plant - in the northern island of Hokkaido.'

'The Scottish Government is committed to generating the equivalent of 100% of Scotland's own electricity needs from renewable sources by 2020.'

<blockquote>'The SNP has welcomed the announcement of plans by the Japanese government to phase out nuclear power by 2030. Before the Fukushima disaster, nuclear power supplied about a third of Japan's energy needs, but the country now aims to increase the use of renewable energy.

Japan follows Germany and Switzerland in announcing their intention to be nuclear free. The Scottish Government is committed to generating the equivalent of 100% of Scotland's own electricity needs from renewable sources by 2020.

Commenting, SNP Energy and Climate Change spokesperson Mike Weir MP said:

“The world is waking up to the massive safety risks presented by nuclear energy as Japan becomes the latest country to announce its intention to go nuclear free.

“The Scottish Government has already ruled out any new nuclear power stations in Scotland and it is time the UK Government followed Scotland and Germany's lead.

“Scotland is well placed to lead this global renewable energy revolution with our huge natural advantage. Scotland has the capacity to generate a quarter of Europe's offshore wind and tidal power and a tenth of the Continent's wave energy. Realising that potential will be a priority for the SNP Scottish Government.

“The SNP have already made a commitment to 100% renewable energy by 2020. By achieving this ambitious target, we can secure Scotland's power supply and create 130,000 jobs in the renewable and low carbon sector.

“A reindustrialised Scotland can lead the world's renewables revolution.”'
