“Renewable energy is cheaper and can be installed quickly. “It also creates huge amounts of hazardous waste,” it adds. “Nuclear power is touted as a solution to our energy problems, but in reality it’s complex and hugely expensive to build,” the environmental organization’s website states. While Japan may be refocusing its attention on nuclear, the technology is not favored by all.Ĭritics include Greenpeace. “Stable use of nuclear power will be promoted on the major premise that public trust in nuclear power should be gained and that safety should be secured,” according to an outline of the plan. Under an “ambitious outlook,” the country’s 6th Strategic Energy Plan envisages renewables accounting for 36% to 38% of its power generation mix in 2030, with nuclear responsible for 20% to 22%. Japan is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050. Earlier this month, a former executive director of the International Energy Agency said public support in Japan for a nuclear restart now stood at over 60%. Most of Japan’s nuclear plants have remained idle since then, but attitudes appear to be shifting. If fully realized, the move would represent a turnaround for the country’s energy policy following 2011’s Fukushima disaster, when a powerful earthquake and tsunami resulted in a meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. 30, Denny’s had 1,650 units systemwide.The prime minister of Japan said Wednesday that his country would restart more idled nuclear power plants and look into the feasibility of developing next-gen reactors.įumio Kishida’s comments, reported by Reuters, build upon remarks he made back in May, and come at a time when Japan - a big importer of energy - is looking to bolster its options amid ongoing uncertainty in global energy markets and the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Test results, from a reported 23 locations, for Melt Down “have been similarly encouraging” to those for The Burger Den, Miller said, and more than half of the domestic locations are expected to debut the virtual brand in the spring. The Melt Down features sandwiches such as the Giddy-Up Melt, which features brisket burnt ends, sharp white cheddar cheese, creamy barbecue sauce and pickles on grilled artisan bread, and a turkey melt with turkey, bacon, tomatoes, provolone and creamy herb spread. ICR presentation slides indicated it will be available on DoorDash, Postmates and Uber Eats. Miller said about half of Denny’s more than 1,500 domestic locations have agreed to offer the virtual Burger Den brand in a rolling launch that will begin in February. “Test results have been favorable and suggest a high degree of incremental transactions.” “This new concept allows us to focus on one of our strengths, great burgers, with new varieties using items already in our pantry,” Miller said. Miller expanded on the announcement earlier Monday of the virtual brand rollout, of which The Burger Den will be the first.
