GE, We Bring Good Things To Light

On April 7, 2011, Japan suffered a 7.1-7.4 level aftershock after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that disabled power to the the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and began the meltdown of the 3 "on-line" reactors as well as one of the "off-line" reactors. These reactors were designed by General Electric in the 1960s and were specifically faulted for not having a cooling system that was gravity fed, as the Westinghouse reactors were.

In the 1950s, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., later a well known author and anti-war activist, worked as a public relations man for G.E.. After the Three Mile Island incident Kurt spoke 3 sentences at a concerned citizens meeting in Harrisburg. He said: "The men who run nuclear power plants are monkeys. They stink. I hate them."

What Would Kurt Vonnegut say now? Perhaps the characters in his own Harrison Bergeron could offer a speech for him:

"That was a douzy."
"You can say that again."
-Harrison Bergeron. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
