RE: RE: OIl Price Decline - No WayShrubcrawler - it seems to me its not as simple as how much oil (or LNG) will be needed to replace the output of one nuclear facility - it is the immediate need for oil to fuel generators for localised blackouts - and perhaps more important - Japan will curtail any future builds of nuclear facilities in favour of alternatives - such as LNG and oil.
In addition other nuclear facilities in the country will be scrutinized for risk and some will likely be gradually decomissioned..
The sum total is Japan will become an increasing user of LNG and oil for the foreseeable future IMO.
