Citizens’ group have been trying to realize national votes for nuclear power in Osaka and in Tokyo.
By 1/9/2012, they have collected more than 50,000 signatures, which is enough to submit the legislative bill to the city council in Osaka.
However, it’s turned out that they are not preparing the question about immediate shutdown.
The options they are preparing are:
1) I agree to start and operate the nuclear plants.
2) Start shutting down the plants gradually and try to have all the plants shutdown by 2022.
We dreamed a dream.
In democracy, we obey the government after the vote, but in socialism, the process of vote is streamlined. -Charles Bukowski
