Fukushima 3X Worse Than Chernobyl-- Japanese Government Cleanup Takeover Implications

Rob Kall over at OpEdNews:

snip:
With the amount of Cesium sitting in endangered storage tanks at three to four times what was in Chernobyl, and risk of leaks rising, the Japanese government has taken over the clean-up of the Tokyo Electric Power Company ( TEPCO) reactor site, at Fukushima.

snip:
We live in a time when corporations, which operate, based on their mission, and in the capitalist model, as psychopaths, sometimes run by psychopaths. It is essential that we develop laws that protects government from undue corporate influence. I realize that it may be too late to reverse this "disease." Simply attempting to keep out corporate influence is greeted as socialism or worse by the shills elected with corporate advertising dollars. The Fukushima disaster shows us how badly this system is working. The whole world has been put at risk because of corporate malfeasance-- which is all that can be expected of corporations. It is time for a change.
