The hypocrisy and lies of the global nuclear lobby

Christina Macpherson's websites & blogs

Has anyone noticed that Japan well and truly stuffed up in its planning and setting up of the Fukushima nuclear power plant – and yet is now preaching to India on the unsafety of India’s nuclear plants?

That strikes me as a dazzling bit of arrogance and hypocrisy. Yet Japan’s Prime Minister has the gall to tell India that because of Japan’s nuclear disaster, Japan is now an expert on nuclear safety!

And anyway, as if the Japanese government cared about India’s safety, anyway!  What they care about is making money selling their nuclear. technology.

But now – I’m here getting  a bit ahead of  the worldwide nuclear lobby. The comprehensive international report on the Fukushima nuclear disaster will not be completed until about June 2012.  However, the initial part of the report recounts all the errors made by the Japanese regarding the planning and setting up of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and in dealing with the catastrophe.

I’m predicting that the nuclear lobby will come out with a whole lot of guff about how much safer nuclear technology is now.  How much they’ve learned from the disaster, so we can all rest assured that the nuclear industry is now safe! – Christina Macpherson, 27 Dec 11
