I was going to stay out of this until Louis decided to poke a stick
in the hornet's nest.
First: What would you have Japan do for energy? No coal, No gas, No
oil. Of course, they could invade China, or Mongolia, or Alaska. I
don't think socialists would advocate that.
Second: If they could import coal, this would be an enormous burden
on atmospheric CO2. Consider what this would mean for the health and
welfare of the Japanese people. Or for the rest of the world. Check
out the Internet. Start with http://www.environmentamerica.org/home/
reports/report-archives/clean-air/clean-air/dirty-air-dirty-power---
mortality-and-health-damage-due-to-air-pollution-from-power-plants
Go on from there to consider the global warming problem and coal
consumption: Do you want a Katrina on your front doorstep? Is there
enough liquified natural gas to import for the world's 3rd largest
economy?
Third: There are more than 4 billion people who are starved not only
by international capital, but in addition the lack of clean water and
clean energy. How much fossil fuel do you propose they burn? What's
your program, Louis?
I've written on this on Marxmail and you can access that any time you
want. In fact, Please quote me.

Clearly, the slogan must specify that nuclear power be under the
control
of the people, not the nuclear industry and its government.
Is that like Black Control of the Black Community?
I think that no nukes is a better slogan.
