Japan PM announces nuclear reduction plan
None
Japan's prime minister is seeking to scale back the nation's reliance on nuclear power over the next several decades and make more use of solar energy and other renewable power sources.
Responding to concerns raised by the March 11 tsunami, Naoto Kan on Friday announced a plan for investment in renewables, a re-examination of the national policy promoting the private development of nuclear power and a reworking of the control regional power companies have over their markets. (AP)
