47% : That means that the nascent government -- in whatever shape it ultimately assumes -- will be forced to confront two longstanding questions that have proved largely impossible to reconcile.Is nuclear energy, widely considered clean and affordable, the best option for Japan -- a nation heavily dependent on fossil fuels yet prone to frequent earthquakes and tsunamis?
