Tepco scraps plan to hike power charges 10 to 15%

[nadinbrzezinski]

PANEL — Tokyo Electric Power Co. has decided to scrap its plan to raise electricity charges 10 to 15 percent from next April amid increasingly harsh criticism by government officials and the public, company sources said Saturday.



Tepco, which operates the crisis-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, had planned to raise charges to partly offset the trillions of yen it has to shell out in compensation payments over damages from the nuclear accident.

2. Trust me some of the headlines are...

3. As we can see from Japanese citizens, once something like this happens... citizens are powerless!!

Same as in Gulf --

You have to fight oil rigging and nuclear reactors before they are built --

and get them shut down if they exist --

Global Warming will bring many more chaotic weather conditions -- from droughts

an floods -- to more storm and hurricanes -- cyclones and tornados --

and glacier melting will bring more earthquakes and more severe earthquakes --


We have to give attention to these issues now -- may make the difference between

"a whimper or a bang" -- ???
