Turning corners

As the cries for Kan to resign have kept on undiminished, there has gradually emerged a counterstream: Who would do what better? The fact that there are no good alternatives does not make Kan attractive, but it certainly lessens the appeal of strident calls for him to resign.

As such, Kan seems to have waited out the worst and the terms of the discussion are changing. I suspect he has turned the corner by hanging in long enough for people to figure out that there is no genius-in-waiting ready to assume the PMship, wave his magic wand, and make everything right again. The problems Tepco is having at Fukushima, for example, are not of Kan’s making. The lack of siting space for temporary housing is not of Kan’s making. And the local-government bottlenecks in distributing relief money are not of Kan’s making.

At the same time, Kan has moved to propose more non-nuclear, non-fossil power generation. He has moved enough to attract some support and enough that some of the vested interests attacking him are being exposed and are no longer seen as impartial information sources. METI, for example, has suffered a considerable credibility drain as it argues that nuclear plants should be restarted even though local communities do not think they are safe.

As this debate moves forward, it is very possible the people clamoring for Kan’s resignation will start to be thought of as seeking not smarter future-oriented policies but a revival of the same old discredited policies that Kan is trying to change. If that happens, Kan will have turned another corner and should be able to finish the main tasks he has set himself: the second supplemental budget, additional bond issuing authorization, and new legislation promoting non-nuclear, non-fossil energy resources. Then he can turn the reins over to some younger people (as he said he would) and leave with a measure of satisfaction and gratitude.
