Why is the japanese government letting TEPCO deal with the disaster on their own? Why is the rest of the world letting Japan deal with the disaster on it's own? Contaminating the Pacific Ocean constantly with radioactive water surely affects a lot of other states.
This is something experts (TEPCO is obviously not in this position) should handle.
The bill for handling the disaster could then be presented at a later time to TEPCO and Japan.
- toyg 13y agoThe relationship between Japanese governments and corporations is much more incestuous than their Western counterparts'. In any case, I don't think Tepco is completely alone in the cleanup effort, otherwise you wouldn't have people like Schneider talking about it. In fact, the irritation here comes from the fact that Fukushima continues to be a clusterfuck and everybody knows it... except TEPCO's PR people, who keep interpreting their best Chemical Ali impersonations.
- panacea 13y ago"The relationship between Japanese governments and corporations is much more incestuous than their Western counterparts" On a scale of 1 to [citation needed], guess where the answer lies.
- caf 13y agoI think you mean Comical Ali (former Iraqi Information Minister) rather than Chemical Ali (former director of the Iraqi Intelligence Service).
- toyg 13y agoYou're, of course, right. Ahh, the early '00s, when black was black and white was white, GWB bad / Obama good, Powell doing stand-up at the UN, Darth Cheney ruling with an iron fist over the applauding masses... There's a reason I forgot most of that.

- consultant23522 13y agoBecause the government does not have the equipment or expertise to handle the situation. And quite frankly, neither does anyone else.
