Osaka is the biggest city of the Kansai region on Honshu, the main island of Japan.
The governor of Osaka prefecture, Hashishita vowed to scrap nuclear power generation after the Fukushima nuclear crisis happened. He planed to call for prefectural governments in the Kansai region as well as Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) to join hands to map out a future without nuclear power generation.
KEPCO requested 15% of power saving to all companies and homes in Kansai region to cover electric power from suspended nuclear power plants.
Some people were afraid that “if we can’t use the existing nuclear power plants, our business will be stagnant, and we even may not be able to use an air-conditioner on a scorching hot day. We need nuclear power plants!”
However, to be honest, KEPCO has spare electric power generation to prepare for a power plants’ accident. Osaka governor, Hashishita requested KEPCO the grounds of 15% of power saving, otherwise his prefecture would cooperate in power saving only by 10%.
KEPCO didn’t give Osaka prefecture the grounds of it and still requested 15% of power saving.
Some people said that “15% power saving is very hard for us. We shall restart some of the suspended nuclear power plants!”
June 13, Hashishita said that “if we must use nuclear power plants at all costs, I’ll ask people live in Osaka that we shall build a nuclear power plant in our prefecture, so that we can earnestly think of the risk of it. We can’t push only the risk off onto an underpopulated area.”
Currently, there is no nuclear power plant in a city in Japan.
Anti-nuclear movement is difficult to promote. But I think we should ask ourselves that if we still need nuclear power plants when we become victims of a nuclear power accident.

Osaka is the biggest city in the Kansai region of Honshu, the main island of Japan.
The governor of Osaka prefecture, Hashishita vowed to scrap plans for a nuclear power plant after the Fukushima nuclear crisis happened.
He planned to call for prefectural governments in the Kansai region as well as Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) to band/join together to map out a future without nuclear power generation.
KEPCO requested a 15% decrease in power consumption to all companies and homes in Kansai region to make up/compensate for the loss of electric power from suspended nuclear power plants.
Some people were afraid that without the existing nuclear power plants, their businesses would stagnate, and they would not be able to use an air-conditioning on a scorching hot days.
"We need nuclear power plants!” they said.
However, to be honest, KEPCO has a surplus of electric power generation to prepare for a power plant accidents.
Osaka governor, Hashishita requested KEPCO the grounds of 15% of power saving, otherwise his prefecture would cooperate in power saving only by 10%. meaning unclear
KEPCO didn’t give Osaka prefecture the grounds of it and still requested 15% of power saving. ???
Some people say that a 15% decrease in power usage is difficult.
June 13, Hashishita said that “if we have no choice but to use nuclear power plants at all costs, I’ll ask the people who live in Osaka their opinion.
Currently, there is no nuclear power plant in any city in Japan.
Anti-nuclear movements are difficult to promote.
Sentences like 'People say, "..." ' detract from the serious tone of the writing.
As for the Osaka governor, I like how he speaks frankly and agree with his position on the nuclear plant. Still he said, "中国のような人間にはなりたくない" so he's just another ignorant, racist, irresponsible Japanese politician.
Thanks very much for your kind suggestions and helpful comment.
> Since this is a fairly formal article, it's better to avoid using direct quotes unless the speaker is known.
I'll be careful at this point when I write a journal next time.

I think you are right. He is a politician so he should be careful to not to say a thing which may be a biased view and may hurt someone's feelings.
I think, perhaps, he wanted to say that "中国(政府)のような政治家にはなりたくない"
He didn't mean that Chinese people are bad.
By the way, as a Japanese, I can forgive people outside Japan who say Japan bad like that:
"Corrupt controlled media don't tell the truth.
Dishonest government-s don't tell the truth."
I think the above is true.
And the mass-media of U.S.A criticize Japan severely like that:
Fukushima lesson: You can't rely on govt or industry when a real crisis comes along/ NY Times

Japanese people became aware that Japanese government and media are terribly liars after Fukushima crisis happened. So I don't deny it. Sad to say it's true.
About China, we heard many bad news about food contamination, and many Chinese people are suffering from the bad food. We know that China's secret nuclear weapon tests conducted until 1996, 46 times at Silk Road, which killed many Uighurian and also contaminated Japan.
China still doesn't admit the tests and forbid foreign media to investigate the truth.
Sad to say, I can understand that some Japanese people don't find China a good country to follow.
