"Ha-ha-" who are they Kidding...... "TEPCO" and the word "Competent" should not coexist without a simple "in-" added before the latter.

Have to agree with the others here.. the Commission, by the nature of its existence would naturally support Atomic Power, anything else would put into question what its purpose was for, and may expose other issues if delved into - as also suggested here.

The Hammer to the Skull Commission supports people repeatedly hitting themselves on the head with hammers.

"The public should be made aware of the benefits of hitting yourself with a hammer," the commission chairman said. "It's the most efficient method of breaking your skull."

Nuclear power is scary but it is becoming more obvious every day that big oil has no future. The 1800 meters of atmosphere we depend upon for our breath can't absorb much more of that filthy stuff. Not a pleasant choice.

For a country that has received 2 nuclear bombs and that nuclear mess in the north a blatant OK for nuclear power would seen self serving, and monetary driven. The publics feelings on this are moot when compared to cash.

And I'm sure the government is very happy with this. Whatever happens, the economy comes first, right ?

So ... there is surprise that people whose job is dependent on nuclear

power like nuclear power? The overseers need people to oversee or they

don't have jobs.

Other amazing discoveries:

Water is good for fishing.

Pilots like airplanes.

Construction workers like buildings.

Navies think ships are important.
