It makes sense. Not only is it substantially more reliable than wind or solar, those both require a ton of land to use. Something Japan has never been known for having a lot of. That land would also be better used for things like agriculture too.
Yep. Japan has not much land. Its mostly mountain. And putting stuff in the sea = monsoon and rust.
Resource wise, they have no gas or coal. They dont even have fissile materials for nuclear. But its probably more feasible and "clean" to import fissile stuff. The Only thing they have is probably geothermal that can be renewable and last for tens of thousands if not millions of years. Ring of fire.
If you have a coast, you have uranium. There's a lot of it dissolved in the sea-water. The plant for seperating it out is pretty resource intensive, but the source is effectively endless.
Uranium has a lot more energy per kilo, so you can afford to ship it from further away since you don't need a constant convoy ferrying it to your power plant.
