                <media:description>An offshore wind turbine, operated by Swancor Holding Co., stands in the Taiwan Strait off the coast of Miaoli County, Taiwan, on Thursday, July 26, 2018. Since a disastrous 2011 reactor meltdown in Japan, more than 1,400 miles (2,250 kilometers) away, Taiwan has rewritten its energy plans. President Tsai Ing-wen ordered all of the country&apos;s nuclear reactors to shut by 2025.</media:description>

                <media:description>Coal is stockpiled in a storage yard at the Joban Joint Power Co. Nakoso coal-fired power station in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014. With the loss of nuclear plants, which produced more than 25 percent of Japan&apos;s electricity before the disaster, the country has had to rely on oil, coal and gas-fired plants. The cost of importing those fuels has driven the country into a trade deficit for 18 straight months while the current-account shortfall widened to a record in November.
