As far as I can see its a case of Murphys law, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, O Neill at present thinks Murphy was an optimist.

I am greatfull to the posters on this site who appear to be more informed towards the truth then TEPCO is willing to divulge. However their reports do not put my mind at ease, my concerns for the health and well being of family in Japan is ever more fearfull.

Mister Watanabe San, no amount of money will bring back what you have lost, but I think you are right to sue TEPCO. It seems the only way to make this company regret their actions is to hit them in the wallet. I wish you every success and also send you my condolences

Well I guess I will have to wait for the resulting verdict of the lawsuit. I dont think even if he wins his case that he will ever receive damages to the extent that he is claiming., A maid would not have those sort of funds in her lifetime

Globalwatcher..... Solutions, Stop the monopoly, allow private green energy organisations to move in,Dont bother trying to bail out a sinking ship. The trillions that the goverment intend to spend of tax payers money to rescue TEPCO could be allocated as loans to assist alternative organisations in their initial building and setup costs

Neorio... I am at the moment contemplating part of your missive, n regards, ( if everyone knew exactly how its done, they would quit their jobs tomorrow, and make a fortune on the stock market) My mind boggles at the thought of that. Results and consequence, yes the banks would be totaly bereft, industry would come to a halt, food stores would have no products, no fuel ect., Austerity measures would pale in comparison and stock exchanges would become none existant in a very short time. It would definately be survival of the fittest. So I guess the system as it stands is far from fair, but, I think until positive and fair alternatives are adopted we have no opton but to pay for the mistakes of those who are actualy running the establishment, ie, the banks

Austerity measures hurt, bankers loaned out cash willy nilly regardless of whether borrowers would have the means in a worst case scenario to meet their commitments. They were able to do this as goverments failed to regulate them. Construction companies made a killing in the first instance as people yearned to possess their own homes, such was the demand that they got greedy, vastly increasing their profit margins, in doing so, the inevitable happened, they priced themselves out of business. Stupidly they did not see it coming and borrowed heavily, with the intention of increasing their gains further. The banks should have had more sense, alas they continued with the cash flow and are now up to their necks in the mucky brown stuff. Hold on a minute, no, its us, the ordinary citizens of Europe who are now having to pay for the mess they created. May 31 we in Ireland are being asked to vote yes to an amendment to our constitution in oreder to allow our future budgets to be approved by the E.U Austerity measures huret those who are not responsible for this fiasco

This idea as far as I can see is just throwing good money after bad, would the cash be better spent investing in tidal, wave, wind and solar power and let TEPCO go to the wall. This cash belongs to the Japanese tax payer have they been consulted?
