震災前後の電源構成の比較
　資源エネルギー庁によると、日本の総発電量に占める原子力の比率は、震災前の2010年12月に32％だったのが、2012年12月は2％まで減少。代わりに石油等とLNG（液化天然ガス）の火力発電が、それぞれ4％から19％、33％から47％に増加しています。ほぼ割合の変わらない石炭（24％）を含めると、火力発電全体の比率は6割から9割まで上昇しました。水力発電は6～7％です。

A comparison of electric power sources before and after the March 2011 disasters

According to the Resources and Energy Agency, in December 2010 (before the disasters) nuclear power accounted for 32% of the electricity produced in Japan, but by December 2012 it had shrunk to 2%. To make up for the loss of nuclear power, the shares of petroleum- and LNG (liquid natural gas)-based generation rose from 4% to 19%, and from 33% to 47%, respectively. The share of coal-fired generation remained relatively unchanged, at 24%. The total share of thermal power generation rose from 60% to 90%. Hydroelectric power generation stands at 6 to 7%.
