\nThe epicentre of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan<\/a> is undergoing drastic changes. Following the disaster in Fukushima, Japan is shifting its reliance on controversial nuclear power to renewable energy. The largest development is a proposal for 143 wind turbines on platforms 10 miles off the coast of Fukushima. If plans go ahead, this will be the world\u2019s largest wind farm<\/a>, surpassing Britain\u2019s Greater Gabbard farm on the Suffolk coast, which has 140 wind turbines.
\n
\nThe farm in Japan is part of a national plan to increase renewable energy sources, after the post-tsunami collapse of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors in 2011. A spokesperson for the University of Tokyo has said that it may be impossible for Fukushima to ever use nuclear power again. In an effort to become energy self-sufficient by 2040, Fukushima is also planning the country\u2019s largest solar energy park. <\/p>\n
