      Expensive subsidized (subsidized is another way of saying non-(currently)-viable) green energy initiatives coupled with heavier regulation of ways we currently get energy (i.e. coal) and now a smaller chance of building nuclear power plants = expensive utility bills.

      Oil: I'm uncertain how it will effect oil prices. If the stock market tumbles, oil will fall with it (albeit at a smaller rate) pending further unrest in the Middle East, which may cancel out the tumbling of oil prices. The more expensive oil goes without relation to a raise in usage by Americans, the less disposable income Americans have to spend on other items and the worse the economy will be.

        Likely similar to any other event:

        Tourism: Straight down for at least a year.
        Stock: Immediate plummet as people are looking for safe havens in other sectors with a gradual market recovery over time.
        Currency: Parallels stock market, decrease in value of Yen with an increase in the value of USD.
        Gold: Short term upward spike until the currency market stabilizes.
        Real estate: Downward trend for an uncertain period of time.

        In short: Go touring Japan and buy stuff within the next year and it will be more cost-effective than any other time, with a strong US Dollar and a weakened Japanese economy you have more buying power.

              My Japanese girlfriend dumped me, kind of bummed but I know there's plenty more in the sea.

              She was hot though, probably a 8.9

              But for real, prices of all sorts of stuff will go up just because people are scared.
