Reply #8: Japan Nuclear Power Plants

What AK Rockefeller blog reports: Who Really Needs Nuclear Power? Big Business, That’s Who!

AK Rockefeller was recently informed that Mitsubishi was the driving force behind building the Fukushima power plant, and that they had been warned that its safety could not be guaranteed in the event of a natural disaster. Indeed most of the nuclear facilities in Japan appear to have been built by and for Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Toshiba, GE & Westinghouse. These companies profit not only through their use of the energy, but in the building of the plants themselves. And no doubt, they lobbied the government to help them get the plants built, and they funded the “independent” studies that either fraudulently verified their safety or confirmed that they were unsafe, but were subsequently suppressed.
