Because I rarely take Osaka Municipal Subway in daytime, I didn't know what it is like in daytime.
Today, I took the subway in daytime to go to do an extra job. Then, it seemed to be dark inside the stations. Having a look around the station, I noticed that almost all the signs are turned off the light. It is definitely because electricity supply is so tight. According to KEPCO, electricity consumption is estimated to amount more than 90% of electricity supply.


Suspension of nuclear power plants after constant inspection still continues. Mr.Kaieda tried to resume Genkai nuclear power plant but only to be disturbed by prime minister's announcement, implementation of stress tests.
I just hope immediate operation of suspended nuclear power plants.
