Japan: More Nuclear Energy Loss?

Link here.

The headline / story are a bit confusing. The headline suggests three more nuclear reactors WILL BE shutdown. The article suggests that there is only a strong recommendation to shut down these reactors.

The reactors are near Tokyo; there is fear that if an earthquake damaged these, the effect on Tokyo (i.e., Japan) would be incalculable.

These three reactors represent 7 percent of Japan's combined nuclear power generating capacity.

Major industries, including Toyota, would be hurt. Meanwhile, Japan will be building solar and wind farms as fast as GM is building Volts. As fast as they can.
