Tokyo Tower Lit Up Amid Looming Power Shortage

TOKYO — Fish flags are seen flying in front of the illuminated Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, capital of Japan, April 24, 2012. Supply of electricity by Kansai Electric Power Co. and two other utilities in Japan is likely to fall short of maximum demand in August even if businesses and households in their service areas save on power, according to power demand estimates announced by nine electric power companies Monday. <Xinhua/Ma Ping>
