Is the oil used for electricity? If not, this will not (directly) replace it. Also, you only need one nuclear reactor (of which a powerplant has many) to make up for the energy produced by this thing. That said, I totally support this way of bringing science fiction a little closer! > It is very difficult to cut off, regardless of the size of your foes' navy Would it be that to hit it with a rocket? (Or a stone thrown really hard?) I assume it's quite vulnerable.

All of this is imported. Outside transportation, Oil is also used for heating homes. Nuclear is definitely an option for Japan. They also have to import the uranium, having virtually none on the island, but that is still much easier to import and stock up than other resources. That said, it's probably easier to shoot your proverbial rocket or stone at their nuclear plants than it is to shoot it into space.
