TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's main opposition party will support a bill promoting renewable energy on the condition that the government will clarify its impact on electricity costs, a Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lawmaker in charge of energy policy said on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan, under fire over his response to the March 11 earthquake and subsequent nuclear crisis, has said he would resign but would stay in his post until the renewable energy law and two other bills are passed.
