National Rice Cooker
International notes the report and therefore the level of information about developments in consequence of the Tohoku earthquake and associated tsunami off. However, while the remaining media reports usually refer to the situation at the heavily damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station and the local incident, as well as individual reports on the situation in the evacuation camps, life in Japan goes on - even with the power saving. Lighting of buildings: Immediately after the earthquake was in many areas of the power failed and to save the subsequent calls to the population of electricity led to the even those buildings that otherwise do even during the day by large neon signs and giant video screens attention to themselves, often in were dark and still partially affected by the power-saving measures - an unusual sight in the Japanese metropolis of Tokyo. Of the Tenno saves electricity: The collective saving of electrical energy, particularly through the renunciation of electric light, but is not the only cause of the people. Of the Tenno, who as a symbol of the state almost exclusively representative function is, by example and contributes to the national rice cooker effort in efficiency. Budget: In addition to electrical appliances such as rice cookers, TV or computer, the power-saving measures at least not expected to last one year, robbing at least in some households on cool evenings, a little comfort to be, but the kotatsu said heated table, under which one's legs warming, also electrically operated virtually without exception. Illumination of vending machines: But buildings are only affected by the savings, but also for the popular, Jido hanbaiki mentioned vending machines present in the normal case, their offer bright, there are plans to turn off the lights. Unlike Germany, where some public machines do not have such a wide spread, often in poor condition and are often damaged by vandalism, you can expect in Japan with cleanliness and freshness of the goods offered. Air conditioners: Another big energy guzzlers in addition to the lighting, however, the air conditioners. Especially in department stores or office complexes prevail in summer temperatures that helped the light summer jacket back to its functionality. Again, there are already some arrangements, the systems are not to be cool beyond a certain limit - which should surely beside the saving in electricity forward even the opponents of global warming. In fact, many Japanese are probably currently busy with other things than worrying about the climate of thought. Fears of radioactively contaminated food is increasing and also temporarily in tap water from Tokyo found traces of radioactive iodine, which led to the official distribution of water bottles and hoarding, are likely to be more present in the minds of the Japanese as plans for "Prima Klima" . Not least, the public demonstrations for more information on the background and current events by the operator of the nuclear power plant show very high on - there is then they're switched on the TV again. . . .
