Yo Bullwinkle, it's TEPCO (with an E), but you're right about everything else. And they've been evasive and dishonest since day one. That's what happens when business and government get too cozy, but we already know that. TEPCO should never have been in charge of the clean-up in the first place. Their officers should have all gone to jail for negligence. At this juncture, international pressure for direct intervention and transparency would be prudent, as the repercussions will surely extend beyond Japan. Somehow I don't think this will happen.
As for how much it will affect Hawaii? No idea. But no matter how you spin it, there's no upside. My heart goes out to the Japanese people who lost everything. They are victims of the greed and negligence of TEPCO and their government.
