Restarting the Nuclear Plant Won’t Lower Our Bills (lol)

It’s been a full 3 years since I became a NEET…
Somehow I’m so busy I don’t even have time to go to the barber (lol).
Constructing the railway tie stairs for the entrance.
Old railway ties are all over the place in terms of dimensions and quirks; there are no blueprints or rulers here.
Making it “look about right”—it’s the easiest yet most difficult method.

The Tomari Nuclear Power Plant is moving toward a restart.
“If the nuclear plant restarts, my electricity bill will go down.” I think many Hokkaido residents still believe this.

To put it clearly, that is undoubtedly a misunderstanding.
Rapidus in Chitose seems to be building a second factory. If those two giant factories run, they’ll probably eat up about 1 million kW of power. In contrast, Tomari Unit 3 aims for about 900,000 kW.
You get it, right? Even if one nuclear reactor works its butt off, all that electricity gets sucked up by Rapidus, making it a wash (lol).
Plus, thermal power plants can’t rest because they are absolutely needed as backup in case the nuclear plant stops suddenly. On top of that, safety measures alone cost hundreds of billions of yen. There is no factor here that would lower electricity rates. “Not going up” is the best-case scenario; going down is absolutely impossible. In fact, I think they will go up.

If you think about it calmly, home appliances and LEDs have become so energy-efficient, yet why do electricity bills remain high? The answer is simple: “Heating Costs.” More than half of household energy in Hokkaido goes to heating. As long as you rely on electricity for this, it’s like trying to fill a bucket with no bottom.
“What about solar panels?” Have you noticed that the number of new houses with panels on their roofs has decreased drastically lately?
Everyone’s realized it by now (lol).
That might have been a “grand prank” played on us by the Japanese government and a certain neighboring country that mass-produces those “black plates” while intimidating us with their hands stuck in their pockets (a fitting pose for their attitude lately).
By the way, in my career, I have never built a single house with solar panels. Not one.

That is why I have been recommending “Wood Stoves.”
Cut off heating costs from the power company’s invoice. This is the ultimate self-defense measure.
However, don’t get me wrong. A wood stove is like having a “campfire inside your house.” Of course, it’s dangerous. There have been actual incidents in Kitami where ignorance on the part of the designer caused carbon monoxide poisoning or near-death ambulance emergencies. It’s not something for the ignorant to mess with lightly.

But, if you understand the risks and master it, there is no tool more comfortable and reliable. In fact, half of Evo Home’s wood stove owners procure their firewood themselves. Everyone is “independent,” not relying on infrastructure.

If a blackout happens in the freezing cold of January, what will you do? Complaining to the government or the power company won’t protect your freezing family. You protect your own body and warmth yourself.

I think living in the north requires that kind of resolve.

Even if a blackout happens, I can boil water. I won’t freeze to death. I can at least bake a potato and stave off hunger.
You can’t bake a potato with “eco-whatever” or a heating air conditioner.

Oh, by the way, Evo Home does not perform wood stove installations for houses I wasn’t involved in building.
It’s best if the NEET is healthy and out of the house…
