We all know (as it is quite obvious by your posts in this thread) that you are 100% against nuclear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you'd be perfectly happy shutting down every nuclear plant right now.
I'd argue that a high power density is a bad thing. If anything happens to a single high density source then suddenly you have a huge power deficit. Distributed power generation allows the risk to be spread across a larger number of power generation sites.

I think nuclear can be perfectly safe given the right conditions. But it is really hard to prepare for the worst that can possibly happen when you live on a fault line, are regularly hit by hurricanes, etc. In places like the ring of fire there are much safer options.

Logical replacements for nuclear would be to use natural resources that Japan has in abundance. Surrounded by the ocean there are lots of potential sites for wave and tidal power, offshore wind farms, and ocean thermal gradients. Being geologically active, geothermal has much potential. And those could be augmented by solar and biofuels produced from agricultural waste.
