Japanese investors important for B.C. energy industry

News Following yesterday's announcement of further Japanese investment into northern B.C.'s coal industry, Premier Christy Clark told Moose FM/energeticcity.ca via conference call that we'll likely be seeing more Japanese investments in our area. She explained that Japanese industries are moving away from nuclear power, which before the March 11, 2011 tsunami accounted for 30 per cent of the country's energy use.
