revamp
野田総理が将来的に原発ゼロを目指す方針を掲げたそうです。国民への協力をお願いする一方、支持率が下がっているためどうなることでしょうか。
見出しのrevampは、もうご存じだと思いますが、「《略式》…を改良する、改訂する」（『ジーニアス英和辞典』（大修館））とあり、informalな語であることがわかります。そもそも、靴のつま革をvampといいます。それを付け替えることをrevampと表現します。念のため。(Minnesota)
Zero option for nuclear power may be added to revamped energy plan
Eliminating dependence on nuclear power is expected to be part of the government's revamped energy policy, officials say.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda will reveal the new policy to his ministers after making a formal decision this month, government officials said Saturday.
According to the officials, the government will make the 15 percent option its interim target for nuclear power dependence in 2030 before completely eliminating it from electricity generation at an unspecified date.
Shooting for 15 percent dependence by 2030 was expected to be the goal of the new energy policy, but given the feedback compiled from weeks of public hearings and a deliberative opinion poll, the government now thinks it necessary to clarify that Japan will become nuclear-free because the majority of the public favors the zero-percent option.
The zero option will be part of the innovative energy and environmental strategies to be adopted at the ministerial meeting, the officials said.
The new energy policy will require the government to conduct progress reports on efforts to reduce nuclear dependence every five years starting in 2015.
