Japan switches off last nuclear power plant; will it cope?

1 of 2. Employees of SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. work using only LED desk lights, during daytime at the company office in Tokyo in this June 30, 2011 file photo, a day before a target to cut electricity use by 15 percent in regions affected by Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami takes effect.
