Japan’s Disastrous Nuclear Operators

Via: Greg Palast:

I need to speak to you, not as a reporter, but in my former capacity as lead investigator in several government nuclear plant fraud and racketeering investigations.

I don’t know the law in Japan, so I can’t tell you if Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) can plead insanity to the homicides about to happen.

But what will Obama plead? The Administration, just months ago, asked Congress to provide a $4 billion loan guarantee for two new nuclear reactors to be built and operated on the Gulf Coast of Texas — by Tokyo Electric Power and local partners.

    Wouldn’t it be “funny” if the nuclear holocaust we’ve been fearing for decades came not from missiles and long-range bombers, but from a brief period of anomalous global seismic activity that cause a few dozen nuclear power plants to melt down and in turn make the surface of the earth too poisonous for humans?
