A: Dude, you know that nuclear plant in Niigata? They're thinking about shutting down two of their reactors!
B: No way! That's big news! What happened?

B: Wow, that's great news for Niigata! But what about our governor? What does he think?

A: He hasn't made up his mind yet. He'll decide by the end of October or so, after hearing from the people. It's important to listen to their wishes!
