After the nuclear accident at Fukushima in March 2011, the Japanese government decided to start from scratch to develop a basic plan to 2012 for Japanese energy. Junko Edahiro, chief executive of JFS, is on a committee created by the government to propose the energy mix for Japan.

On February 20, 2012, NHK World (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) broadcast report on television (about five minutes) on efforts to change the direction of energy policy in Japan, and included coverage of a workshop she organized for women on the topic, in order to reflect their views in the government's decision making process.

You can access the video clip for the next 3 or 4 days at the above link. A more detailed story will come out on the next issue of the JFS monthly newsletter.
