当日本启动破坏性地震和海啸后的重建工作时,它不得不面临严重电力短缺的局面。由于福岛第一核电站危机和其他发电设施的问题,该国几乎丧失了4%的基本电力荷载,轮流停电在东京周边很常见,这严重阻碍了该国的制造业。为了在弥补短缺的电力,日本必须增加煤、石油和天然气厂的发电量。全国理论上具有足够的容量来弥补核电厂的缺失,但造成的经济损失可能会很大:根据调查数据,日本每天可能需要增加进口原油67000桶和 When Japan started the reconstruction work after the devastating earthquake and tsunami, it had to face severe power shortage. Due to the crisis at Fukushima Daiichi NPP and other power generation facilities, almost 4% of the country’s basic electricity load was lost, and blackouts were common around Tokyo, seriously hampering the country’s manufacturing sector. In order to make up for the shortage of electricity, Japan must increase its coal, oil and gas power plants. There is theoretically enough capacity in the country to make up for the lack of nuclear power plants, but the economic losses can be enormous: According to the survey data, Japan may need to increase imports of 67,000 barrels of crude oil per day and
