If Japan is going to have the economy it takes to repay those debts, it needs to restart those reactors and begin smelting some steel.

I hope that no one is foolish enough to depend on this "Seeking Alpha" for investment advice. Betting on a strong rise in Japanese interest rates in the near term is not a good investment idea.

The BOJ is probably the most effective central bank in the world, and the BOJ doesn't want JGBs to have high interest rates right now. Guess what? JGBs won't have high interest rates.
