anyway, i disagree with his take on electricity rates. utilities are strained by high demand. he doesn't want nuclear power plants but at the same time he wants to consume all the electricity he wants for the same low price. sorry, no. you provide a basic service at a basic rate, so that nobody goes without, and the customer who wants more and makes you build more nuclear power plants pays a premium. makes sense to me (sorry keiji, but you'll realize i'm right and so is tepco).
