The pause in nuclear power plant caused a steep rise in oil import, some alternative energy (And probably cause a huge commercial deficit for japanese international trade). Even if right now the japanese are trying to reduce their consumption, by approx 15%, it won't be sufficient on the long term for the japanese industry to remain competitive. I am already seeing big japanese company de-localizing. In the building where I work (in japan), they installed solar panels on the roof, but these panel only provide like less than 10% of the power need in the best case ( and even less for the rest of the day, and it is not like we use high powered laser, nor particle collider). So if japanese wants to live without nuclear power, that would be with a growing national debt, a faltering industry, and huge sacrifice in lifestyle. I am not sure that japanese are willing to live with these. I think the biggest issue is mostly trust in the japanese governement and the company running the nuclear plant, especially Tepco that lied to the public and probably the government until the situation was to obvious to lie (the powerplant was near the epicenter of the earthquake, it was impossible that with this magnitude it wasn't even slightly damage).
