Wind power station planned in place of nuclear plant in Wakayama town
Huge wind power generators stand in the Aomori Prefecture village of Rokkasho with the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the background. (Mainichi)
WAKAYAMA -- A company partially financed by Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) is planning to build a wind power station in the Wakayama Prefecture town of Hidaka, which has abandoned plans to host a nuclear power plant, it has been learned.
The town is likely to accept the wind power project, with Mayor Yoshio Naka earlier having declared: "The age of nuclear power stations is over."
