Just so you're aware, you never gave a link to your source. I am just going off your quotes. And YOY means year-over-year, so if it's 50% over last year, then it's 50% YOY. You can interpretate that as exponential growth unless you are expecting growth to stall. I don't see anywhere in that article that suggests this is just 1% of Japan's energy need. It should be a very significant portion. Again, this is a major current event. You expect people to be aware of it, or can do the most basic of googling. A lot of people here apparently either are profoundly ignorant or totally in denial that it is happening.
