From the article:
> A nationwide Kyodo News poll last October found that 60% of respondents opposed an immediate return to nuclear energy, while 31% were in favour.

#4Japan's CO2 emissions are up 11% relative to 1990, when they are supposedly planning to go down 21% by 2030.
“They’re aware that Japan has fared perfectly well without nuclear power for almost two years.” is not really accurate CO2 into account.

#5Does this reactor have better safeguards and protection than the ones at Fukushima? I think that's the most important point to consider here.

Which would you prefer floating in our air, CO2 (that plants breathe) or invisible, cancer-causing radioactive particles?

"Better safeguards"? 9.0 earthquake. Tsunami. Fire. Complete loss of power to all control systems.
Still didn't kill anybody.
Just how safe do you expect something to be?
By comparison the earthquake and tsunami killed over 18,000 people.

If you're genuinely interested, France knows a thing or two about that topic:

Personally, I expect someone to have at least the foresight to put the backup generators on a platform.

There was a ten meter sea wall. The tsunami was 13 meters tall. How many 13 meter tall backup generator platforms have you ever seen?
