Energy Grid Modernizations begin; Copper and Coal mines to be reopened and expanded to accommodate demand.

June 17th, 5709
--------------------------
With the KRT Plan in full swing, and the Itsuki Cabinet looking to enact industrial expansions to promote growth, the focus has shifted from rail logistics, to energy logistics. Particularly modernizing energy grids, and the added benefit of expanding copper and coal mines, which will have the benefit of providing jobs for local economies (and especially the wider national economy), and provide stable sources for the energy grid. As such, the first step is modernizations. Replacing aging substations and transformers with more modern and robust ones will be invaluable, reinforcing transmission corridors, and modernizing circuit breakers. The goal is to ensure that the physical aspect of the energy grid is actually reliable.
And, to accommodate this modernization, an expansion of coal power is going to be necessary. It's not the cleanest, or the sexiest power source (especially compared to nuclear or oil), but it's something, and something is better than nothing. As such, for every power plant established, a mine will go along with it. This will provide a stable source of domestic power (without relying on foreign grids) and more importantly, get Sekowans into a job. And to keep all these energy grid modernizations going, copper mines will be vital. Currently existing mines will be drastically expanded, and the focus will shift towards general domestic refinement. This'll go perfectly for transformer production, as well as future revival of the electronics industry.
The KRT Plan is slowly seeing results, and while it's not as fast as many would like, it's providing something. Which is more than can be said of nothing. With the centre Liberal Democratic Coalition holding firm and tensions between the Liberals and CDP largely being put aside, the Itsuki Cabinet stands a real chance for long term economic recovery. Even if the Far Right accuses the Progressive PM of socialism, and the Far Left accuses of state capitalism.
