Sadly, I don't think breaking up the company will make any difference. It will probably be worse cos it will just mean more money hungry investors trying to make a profit from a dying horse at the expense of the public. This whole situation is nothing but a huge money out for Japan, but TEPCO is directly responsible. The government should be ordering them to get their shit together, forget their penny-pinching BS and this bloody mess under control. The scandals with the labor force are ridiculous. There was a report stating that TEPCO should be employing more professionals, but they are not gonna go there and work for peanuts nor are they gonna be go there while the Yaks are skimming wages. TEPCO should not be broken up or liquidated. They should be made to take full responsibility and get it cleaned up regardless of profits.
